Ok, gathered from what several of you said, is it
fair that I draw the
following conclusions:
1) 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
network<http://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.
