I was wondering if it would be possible to run an IRC server (and have a Java IRC client) linked from the freemathhelp.com index page. (Of course it is possible, rather, this is a request :D)

I think it would be fun to provide some live-help to students.... but also, I think it would be fun to have a place to talk to some of the people who post regularly on this board. :D
 
Re: IRC?

Hmm... it's certainly possible, but I don't know if it's something I want to do. I'll have to think about it, but it's really a whole 'nuther level of privacy risk and liability... I guess what I'm saying is that I won't be able to check on the chat and see what's going on, so it will be really unmoderated... and given the audience of this site, I could be putting myself at risk there.

Any thoughts?
