As I think Luke alluded to in his earlier reply, this .... probably won't happen. Most of the moderation team are community volunteers. Most of the discussion on the IRC is between us and other people who want help with different problems, and in-between that we chat about whatever we want with whoever happens to be online. Does it mean the #pine64 channel has conversations about the rock64? yes. it also has conversations about the goon show, arduino, and the frequent hiding of chocolate. Pine does have dedicated teams that are working on the pine64 and rock64, but the forum and IRC is mostly community (volunteer) run, and TL and the pine devs touch base every so often to get updates, and relay information to us. We have enough 'garbage' being auto-posted when someone logs in, so there really isn't any need for any more. We try to keep the channels mostly on track, but it's often up to whoever else is online as it's a community, not a military academy. :-P
