Ok, gathered from what several of you said, is it fair that I draw the following conclusions:
- Seanw is a group contact of Wikimedia, appointed by Wikimedia, on
FreeNode.
define "appointed by Wikimedia", please. If you are referring to the foundation, this is wrong.
It is? My understanding of the system was that while the WMF never really claimed to own the IRC channels, because they're at # and not ##, the foundation actually does, and so it appointed the group contacts. [[m:IRC Group Contacts]] says "The IRC Group Contacts are the liaisons between Wikimedia and the staff of the freenode IRC networkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:freenode ."
As I just got confirmation, the Wikimedia Foundation is not accredited with Freenode for IRC purposes, so there is no group administered by the Foundation. There is, however, a group called "wikimedia" which is basically built and managed by the Wikimedia community. The board did *not* at any time appoint IRC Group Contacts.
