|
| |
|
| Location: freenode
| |
|
| |
| Servers: none
| |
|
| |
| Purpose: Provides a channel for Fedora contributors to use.
| |
|
| |
| == Is a new channel needed? ==
| |
|
| |
| First you should see if one of the existing Fedora channels will meet your needs. Adding a new channel can give you a less noisy place to focus on something, but at the cost of less people being involved. If you topic/area is development related, perhaps the main #fedora-devel channel will meet your needs?
| |
|
| |
| == Adding new channel ==
| |
|
| |
| * Make sure the channel is in the #fedora-* namespace. This allows the Fedora Group Coordinator to make changes to it if needed.
| |
|
| |
| * Found the channel. You do this by /join #channelname, then /msg chanserv register #channelname
| |
|
| |
| * Setup GUARD mode. This allows ChanServ to be in the channel for easier management: /msg chanserv set #channel GUARD on
| |
|
| |
| * Add Some other Operators/Managers to the access list. This would allow them to manage the channel if you are asleep or absent.
| |
|
| |
| /msg chanserv access #channel add NICK manager
| |
|
| |
| or
| |
|
| |
| /msg chanserv access #channel add NICK op
| |
|
| |
| You may want to consider adding some or all of the folks in #fedora-ops who manage other channels to help you with yours.
| |
| You can see this list with /msg chanserv access #fedora-ops list
| |
|
| |
| * Set default modes. /msg chanserv set mlock #channel +Ccnt (The t for topic lock is optional if your channel would like to have people change the topic often).
| |
|
| |
| * If your channel is of general interest, add it to the main communicate page of IRC Channels, and possibly announce it to your target audience.
| |
|
| |
| * You may want to request zodbot join your channel if you need it's functions. You can request that in #fedora-admin.
| |
|
| |
| == Recovering/fixing an existing channel ==
| |
|
| |
| * If there is an existing channel in the #fedora-* namespace that has a missing founder/operator, please contact the Fedora Group Coordinator: [[User:Spot]] and request it be reassigned. Follow the above procedure on the channel once done so it's setup and has enough operators/managers to not need reassiging again.
