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 +ARfiorstv
|
||
|
|
....
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can see what the various flags mean at
|
||
|
|
http://toxin.jottit.com/freenode_chanserv_commands#cs03
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 [.title-ref]##/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:
|
||
|
|
[49]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.
