another site that works is irc.demon.co.uk - it's an open site,
(to the best of my knowledge,) so you don't have to be a demon
subscriber to use it (though it might be a bit laggy from the US.)
As far as I know, no limit on the number of users (it can certainly
handle over a hundred.)

Let's just do it - I'm sure convenient meeting times will evolve
according to how people feel. If other channels are anything
to go by we'll probably end up with 'split-shifts' to some extent -
people on opposite sides of the planet are unlikely to find many
mutually convenient times - but hey, that's timezones for you...
I've got a large ftp session lined up for tomorrow night, so I
may as well open a channel while I'm online if anyone wants to
drop in - I'll be on #flytrap for an hour or two from about
00:00 BST (that's 23:00 GMT on July 25th,) - I'm hopeless with
timezone conversions, so you'll just have to figure local times
out for yourself...
If you get there before me, stick the kettle on :)
If anyone would like an IRC tutorial file, I've got quite a good
one - drop me a line and I'll Email it to you.
Happy growing,
Peter
