According to this new post to the CodeIgniter blog, they've added a new feature to their Wiki - a link between them and the CodeIgniter forums.

Threads will be automatically created and linked for you via the discussion links found at the bottom of wiki articles. More details about this integration can be found at a blog post made in the ExpressionEngine blog, as well as a free ExpressionEngine extension to implement this on your own sites that utilize the ExpressionEngine wiki and discussion forum.

The plugin (the "Wiki Forum Talk" extension) bridges the two components and either makes a new topic when a new wiki entry is added or, if there's already a forum topic for the entry, it automatically links to it.

The #php.thinktank channel on the Freenode IRC Network is starting up a series of "discussion times" with their first session happening November 17th at 3-5pm CST. The discussion will be about the Standard PHP Library (SPL) extension included in recent PHP 5 releases.

In an effort to get more participation in discussions within the channel, we're going to try something new: having a regular discussion-driven event. If all goes well, we'll alternate moderators and topics and keep the time slot.

To get information about connecting to Freenode, check out their website for the addresses or just point your IRC client to irc.freenode.net and you'll get routed to a server. Then just "/j #php.thinktank" and you'll be there!
