yea, not worried about another server really - just being verbose

i mentioned to bear in a different chat app, i think the advantage of gitter is the lowered barrier of entry since we can just provide a link to the web app too

+ 1 not having another chat app :)

yeah i'm connected to many servers that's fine, that's irc.
Next question: does gitter allow anonymous connections? Can a dev click a link from the ampersand site and be dumped in and asking questions right away?
bear
it's not anonymous in that when they connect, their github ID us used
err is used
nlf
yeah they have to sign in via github

that's ok, much lower barrier to entry than IRC
(signing in via github)

So far no success connecting via irc

ok all, we're doing it... ampersandjs talk is moving to gitter.im. Join the #ampersandjs/ampersandjs channel using instructions here https://irc.gitter.im/
hey guys, I'm having trouble with binding a class in my view to a property on a model
the model property appears to be updating just fine, but the class on the el in the view doesn't update after the initial render
actually I think the problem is that the object it's observing changes, not the property that it's observing, so it maintains a reference to a stale thing
wraithgar
so you have something like foo: {bar: baz} and you've bound the class to foo.bar but you're setting foo = {bar: bee} instead of setting foo.bar = bee and so it's not firing?

wraithgar: I thought that was originally the problem, and that is what I was doing, but now I'm defining a property on the view that is a model and updating a property on that model and it's still not firing
wraithgar
Ah ok so you're binding to a prop in the view, not this.model from the view.
jasonrose
at first, I was binding to `model.childReferenceX.propertyY` and it wasn't working, because I reassign `model.childReferenceX` based on click events
so I then defined a model type directly in the initialize function in my view, and set `this.bindingReference` to it, and then have a `bindings` entry for `bindingReferenece.somePropertyY`
wraithgar
Bring it up there and I'll try to pick up the convo when I get back
