Hi. I've already spoken with Jim Perrin about this and he's fine with it; confirm with him if need be. May I please have edit rights to http://wiki.centos.org/irc to: 1) correct a typo 2) point people to the proper documentation on how to register a nick, including sasl auth and ssl via the official Freenode documentation. 3) whatever further maintenance is needed now or in the future. I am also requesting a page one level deeper (with edit rights) of: http://wiki.centos.org/irc/banned to be used to direct people to that will contain information on why certain gateways are banned from IRC (rampant abuse) and the steps people may take to get access to #centos. #centos will auto-forward these people to a specific channel that the channel bot will sit in and spam out the above link. The page will be able to go into much more detail than the bot can easily accommodate. This will serve to provide a better experience than just banning without reason (we do similar currently for unregistered users). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

John -- A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either. -- Thomas Paine (1737-1809), Rights of Man (1791) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
