Re: [Foundation-l] First IRC Group Contacts 'surgery' held thisevening, cloak backlog (almost) cleared (yay)

I think the real issue is that we'd need someone to manage it, and our sysadmins have been explicit that they do not enjoy managing the channels we already have (RC feeds) and do not want to manage more. Whether or not someone else from the community could do it, I don't know.
