Hi, Why don't host IRC chanels on wikimedia servers ? (ie. irc.wikimedia.org) Freenode may vanish day, we have better to get ready for that. It may be also nice to offer people under firewall a Web interface to be able to acces IRC even at office (as Shaihulud do for some of us with CGI:IRC).

This is not an alternative but an additional service to freenode. Imagine the servers dying. How do you coordinate through a irc service that is dependent on a thing that might break?
Adding irc.wikipedia.org to the freenode network could provide service in case something goes really wrong, nor?
