Thats just a few ideas to get things going.
I've always thought the following idea would be cool to implement. It's not
IRC, but I figured I would throw this idea out there, especially now since you
now have talk.fedoraproject.org.
What about *free* telephone support?
A rough outline:
* newbie user has problem. Has no clue what IRC is. Knows what telephone is.
* supergeeks live on IRC, read every message in fedora-devel (well, almost) and
have VoIP software with talk.fedoraproject.org account.
* Each supergeek, when available, goes to a webpage and clicks "available" to
let fedora asterisk know they are available "agents" (in asterisk speek) that
can receive calls from the support queue.
* noob calls local number via the majick of a bunch of $2 DIDs around the world
which connects them to the fedora asterisk server. "Welcome to the fedora
telephone server..." They hit "1" for support.
* fedora asterisk looks at all the available agents and routes the call to one
of them.
"Thanks for calling Fedora support! This is supergeek $foo. How can I help?"
Just an idea....

Wouldn't this shift the focus away from users finding answers for
themselves (RTFM, essentially) and us writing good documentation?
I can only see this being useful if it fed back into a knowledge base.
Well, depending on their problem it could be as easy as just to say "open your
browser and go to http://wiki...."; if there is a solution there. Newbies have
trouble even finding what doc is relevant to their problem (well, not just
newbies either....)
