Comment on What do y'all think about mailing lists and IRC as sole communication channels?

It would have to be a pretty niche project with an involved and dedicated community to get away with that these days.

Yeah super niche projects like the Linux Kernel and Git

I think they meant new projects starting today, not currently existing ones.

Indeed. I wonder if LinuxNet / #linux is still around, actually. That was interesting back in the day, and later meeting many of the characters at conferences and meetups. IRC was great. Patches by email, otoh… Good that it is possible, but PRs/MRs are nicer.

To be fair, at least the kernel is super niche in terms of development.
