IRC Assignment

Stage 1 Activities >> Intro to IRC (Activity)

Part 1

1. How do people interact? Darci is running the meeting and calls people and summarizes in minutes. Others mostly take turns speaking in front of the group.
2. What is the pattern of communication? Is it linear or branched? Formal or informal? One-to-many, one-to-one or a mix? Interactions are informal, a mix of one-to-one and one-(at-a-time)-to-many. There is sometimes cross-talk so people are careful about addressing each other directly so readers can disentangle the threads.
3. Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning? All the #commands interpreted by the meetbot.
4. Can you make any other observations? Sentences are pretty short. People can't tell the difference between a long pause and afk, so people don't write whole paragraphs per msg.
5. Bonus: Why didn't Heidi and Darci's actions get picked up by the meetbot? ... didn't they? There are #action items in the transcript, and they are all reflected here (in both meeting summary and the action items section) and here (at the end in the action items section). I'm confused by the question.
