##jsf irc channel usage

Because JavaServer Faces technology is delivered by Sun as a part of
the Java EE SDK and also href="https://glassfish.dev.java.net/">Project Glassfish, the Sun JSF
team strongly feels that community is important. To that end, I've been
plugging the use of the ##jsf irc channel on irc.freenode.net as a
community resource. My team and I try to maintain a daily presence in
the channel. href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/edburns/archive/2005/10/jsf_irc_channel_1.html">Since
we started hanging out there, we've seen the daily traffic steadily
grow.

Now that over a year has passed, I thought it would be fun to throw
in a graph. Here is a chart of the daily log size for the ##jsf
channel, where each data point is a weekly average of the size, in
bytes, of the daily log file. The first datapoint in the x axis is from
the fourth week of 2006, on up to today.

If you want to join the channel, please href="http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/#IRC">see the
instructions at the JSF main site.

Many thanks to Geert Bevin who,
very graciously and professionally provides the log bot on the
channel.
