Things to think of
1. who would moderate
2. what are the rules
3. what is to be discussed where
4. accuracy of information given (not all experts will be on at 2-4am like some of us )
That is an issue to address, my instinct would be to have anyone who appears to go above and beyond in the room to moderate. I'm very willing to moderate as much as I can, and I'll offer up the bandwidth and server as well, for anyone who's interested. I think to start we can use one chatroom (#FRC?) and expand from that, adding other later (#FRC-Soft, #FRC-Mech, #FRC-Elec, etc.) I'm also looking into the ability to have an IRC to teamspeak bridge for text chat, but haven't found anything yet.

Rules should be similar to the forum here, basically all boiling down to gracious professionalism. And, just like any information given here, or anywhere else, take what doesn't come from a known reliable source with a grain of salt. The server I'm running has super-ops, ops, half-ops, voices, and I think half-voices, which moderators could use to help keep track of who's a reliable source and who hasn't proven themselves yet.

Any thoughts?
