I needed to have another look at IRC. Sadly it seems this is a dead end. Here are my notes this time. …<\/p>\n

Things have moved on, and not always for the best I am advised this has moved on such that it’s no longer usable<\/em>.\u00a0 Perhaps I should move this article to a comment on what i wrote before, now deprecated.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, I need to research Slack, arguable an IRC clone, so I will put those comments here.<\/p>\n

Slack<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Making the most of slack at your non-profit<\/a>\u00a0from techsoup.org<\/li>\n
  2. How to build a slack community<\/a>\u00a0from online geniuses<\/li>\n
  3. How to create setup grow a highly engaged community with slack<\/a>\u00a0from Hamster Pad on medium, it’s an overlay social network, but offers a means of distributing invitations to join<\/li>\n
  4. What is slack?<\/a> from rag tag notes, first time I see it’s free for small non-profits,<\/strong> although not sure if they offer this to political organisations (or what political is, since charities may not be political under UK law).<\/li>\n
  5. Admin essentials 101 2<\/a> a webinar by Slack<\/li>\n
  6. lmgtfy “how to build a community using slack”<\/a><\/li>\n

  8. Also Slack’s home page<\/a>\u00a0and its pricing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The slack client, if invoking “add teammates<\/em>” allows the generation of an invite code.<\/p>\n
