I agree.  IRC will help us to be more productive.

Hmm... bummer... I was hoping that someone would have some knowledge 
about setting up a channel on freenode.net.  I'm not having a lot of 
luck figuring out how they do it.  The documentation they have tells how 
you should operate your channel, but it doesn't tell you if the channels 
have to registered/reserved and doesn't tell you how to go about doing 
that if that is the case.

I don't want to pester the freedesktop.org folks asking them too many 
questions about IRC...
