Hi Sri

I agree that #newcomers is more descriptive and a better name,
but can we still have #gnome-love running for a couple of weeks with a BOT message redirecting the users to #newcomers and
asking contributors to refrain from using #gnome-love.

I think we can probably do something like that.  I will ask Andrea or Patrick about how to make that happen.
 

I think it will be useful to do this because:
 -  Documentation will remain outdated for a while.
 -  People might have missed this email.

Yes, I wanted to do a phase out approach.  The irc is an easy change, but we still need to figure out all the places that gnome-love is being used and then have an action plan to replace it.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Does anybody have an objection to changing the irc channel from #gnome-love to #newcomers?  We'll probably change wiki names and everything else associated with gnome-love over time.  But the immediate change will be the irc channel.

gnome-love isn't very descriptive at least for outsiders trying to join the project.  I know what it means and so do most of us who have used 'love' as term to mean working on something.

I will give one week, if there is no credible objections, the change happens.  I will send one mail the day before as a reminder and then make the change.
