Hi,
Your idea has its points, but I'm not sure if classes aren't just a work-around
for lacking documentation in general. Of course, IRC is a lot more interactive
than a tutorial, but reading IRC logs is really not the best method to lern
something about a certain topic, so documentation would be needed anyway, except
for those who are actually there. But then, why not just give them the
documentation right away with a "Questions/Feedback to blah@whatev.er" footer? I
think this is a far more efficient way to let people educate themselves. So
basically, the documentation shouldn't be the primary location to get information.
Other than that, i like your idea, and surely won't stop you :)
Regards,
