Yes, Ursula, you need to choose the server first (irc.freenode.net),  
or you're just creating a new ubuntu-women channel on the server  
you're using. That new channel will be empty, because you've just  
created it!

It's a bit confusing that whenever you enter the name of a channel  
that doesn't already exist, you create it, and there it is, empty...  
It's like walking into an empty room when you expected to see people.

The real U-W channel gives you some information when it opens, the  
links to the homepage and its aims, a quick summary. If you're not  
getting that, you're not on irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-women

I had an enjoyable chat yesterday, first time I've been on IRC for  
years. It became too complex for me some years back, but I've found a  
program which simplifies it all for me (Conversation, for any other  
OSX users ;) ).

I don't think our channel was U-W only, yesterday, but it was  
friendly and interesting!

I won't be able to do that often, but now I know I can, I'll pop in  
occasionally. I'm really pleased to be able to do IRC again. :)))

Nice to talk to you, Elizabeth!
