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

[mike.lifeguard]

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.

Yes, but setting up IRC channels on many networks that are more accessible
than Freenode, (and have better policies to control trolling and spamming,)
is easy and free, and even if we were to set up IRC on our own domain, it
takes a miniscule amount of bandwidth.
