At about 10pm last night - a discussion channel for ##avian-flu opened up on irc.freenode.net - The Channel operator ChrisBradley has had some interesting success collecting information regarding news and government information regarding the pandemic to come.

The idea for the channel was given to ChrisBradley by a user called ShakeSpeareFan00 who works with ##wikimedia on several projects in action. He noticed that there was a need for the channel on irc.freenode.net and ChrisBradley opened the channel at his request.
