Hey all,
I keep seeing lines in my away log complaining about me being lazy and not setting IRC cloaks, and about people offering their assistance (in response to kinder notes of me just being busy). I thought I would clear the situation up. I am on wikibreak at present for most of my roles but I am still completely dedicated to being our most active IRC Group Contact (James is also active, but less so) and so this is not the issue. The reason why no cloaks are being set at present is different.
Essentially, James and I are trying to redo our paperwork with freenode to make sure that we are allowed to set the cloaks we do and also to add new namespaces by popular request, such as wikiversity/ cloaks. The freenode head of staff is the person responsible for sorting this paperwork with us and unfortunately she has been indisposed due to injury for some weeks now. This means that we have been unable to do what we need to do and as a result cloaks are just sitting in the request system. However, as soon as things are sorted out *I will set every cloak (assuming it meets the requirements) in the system in one fell swoop!*
Please be patient and considerate while these problems are sorted out. Rest assured there is no laziness involved!
Thanks,
