We are absolutely thrilled to have so much participation in the IRC channels. #seam-dev in particular is visited by many of the core developers throughout the day and is a catalyst for ideas and innovations.<div><br></div>

<div>With that said, the line is also starting to blur between which questions and discussions are appropriate for the chat room and those that aren&#39;t. We want to keep it fun and productive and we want to make sure you are asking for help in the place you will most likely receive it. Therefore, we have established a draft of guidelines for conduct in the chat rooms. (Feedback welcome)</div>

<div><br></div><div><a href="http://seamframework.org/Seam3/Chat#H-ChatRoomConduct">http://seamframework.org/Seam3/Chat#H-ChatRoomConduct</a></div><div><br></div><div>We ask that you respect these guidelines. In return, everyone can expect their experience in the chatroom to be a positive one.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;d like to stress that I want the Seam community to be a place of respect amongst members. Constructive criticism is central to the peer feedback system that OSS fosters. Yelling and swearing are not. Let&#39;s keep it fun and productive.</div>
