Definitely it would be a bad idea to merge RC feed irc
with some irc
for people. If there was any new network it would be probably
configured from scratch and unrelated to ratircd RC feed run on.
Anyway I don't think that would happen. This isn't even discussion
about that. We are discussing option to donate server to freenode here
:-)

But I am not talking about creating a new

of our resources to freenode. They would likely operate and manage it
without assistance from wmf ops.
(Last I saw) Freenode wants full root access on the boxes, Something
that ops more than likely won't want to do if its sitting on our
networks.

On other hand I disagree that maintaining an irc

complicated, given that we have so many volunteers who would

easier for us, that's true.
One of the reason the ops (Tim S. especially) like our current IRC
setup is because its turn on and forget about it for a few years, That
would more than likely not be if the case if we started opening up for
people to talk on it and etc, where as we currently have a fully
functioning and "fine" system operating system (which no one has
really given any reasons against really, apart from the group contacts
thing, which i see as a non issue at current).
