why don't we have an IRC channel or something anyway? or did I just miss it?

That would be useful - although it's hard to use for thoughtful posts. Maybe we could just create an informal forum within the site? (one that doesn't require or expect posts to fit an implicit standard).

I think this IS the informal forum. If it were much less formal than this I wouldn't bother perusing the quantity of posts I'd expect to find there.

IRC isn't for thoughtful posts, it's for realtime discussion, and it's pretty good at that. :)

We regularly have open threads, which kind of fit that purpose.

This discussion section is somewhat new, and aims at replacing / completing the open threads (which aren't very user-friendly).
