Hi

Hopefully most recipients of this already think that info-performer is a pretty
useful resource :-) I'm looking into the feasibility of creating a Performer
chatroom off www.sgi.com

The benefit I see is that you might get instant response to some questions:
info-performer can get rather backed up at the moment now it's so large, if
some simpler questions migrated to the chat room then it might ease the load (
and the email traffic you all get ).

We could also think about scheduling specific times for discussion of a given
subject, or maybe SGI people could schedule specific times they'd be 'in the
room' for any questions.

Before going any further I wondered if there was any support for this idea, to
save sparking too much traffic on the subject *please respond to me directly*
and I will post a summary at the end of the week as to what the general opinion
was, unless of course you have some opinion/suggestion that you think needs to
be posted to all.

o Does this sounds useful to you ?
o Would you use it ?

To be clear: this would be *in addition* to the mailing list.

Cheers
Rob
