[Bug 392799] Re: #ubuntu too noisy to be useful

[mhall119]

How about instead of permanently breaking #ubuntu into topic-specific
channels, we create short-lived temporary channels to help one person
with their issue.  I liken #ubuntu to a crowded room at a party.  If you
want to hold a conversation with someone, you each move to a corner of
the room so that your conversation doesn't compete with the other
conversations and general pleasantries.

If someone needs help that is going to take more than a quick answer,
you can ask a bot (ubottu or another) to create a "corner" channel for
you.  It would create and manage the channel, invite the person you are
helping, and maybe announce the creation of the corner and topic to
anyone else who might want to follow you there.  The bot could then
close the room when you're done, and maybe provide a summary of the
conversation back to #ubuntu.  Additional bot features could be creating
a new bug in Launchpad, attaching the corner channel's log
automatically.
