Can we add a simple private messaging service to sidewalk? There are questions I have for various members of the community, but the only way of contacting them is through creating a new topic or asking someone else for their email address.

I agree. This would definitely be a nice thing to have. This is the only place I've found where I can actually get advice and help with Fantom, but the means of communication aren't too great (this is the closest thing to a forum). A big role in success of Fantom means having a strong community. Adding this feature would strengthen the community in my personal opinion.

There is IRC channel #fantom on irc.freenode.net, that's perhaps a little known fact. But I agree having a simple way how to contact someone here directly would be a great feature.

There is a webchat now on freenode, so no need to install any program to access the channel ;-)

I've been going on the irc channel every day and no one has been there to talk to. More people should get on irc!

Putting IRC reference to Fantom frontpage helped a lot, thanks.
This feature would be really nice for offline messaging though. Many people are not willing to put their email address into a discussion login profile.
