PythonPune on IRC

[Thin Rhino]

Hello Folks,

We now have an IRC Channel  #PythonPune.

Let us try and use it to increase our online communication :-)

Cheers

If possible keep it all small, easier for newbies.

I was under the impression, that channel names are case insensitive!

[Kushal Das]

May be, I don't know :) It seems one has to be identified to join the channel.

Confirmed it, channel names are case insensitive https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-1.3

Yes, you need to use a registered nickname to join the channel.

Thanks will keep this in mind.

In our dgplug summer training we found this is kind of difficult for
new comers. Better you
mute any non-identified person through chanserv.

[Thin Rhino]

That is a good idea. Will set it up that way.

I'm not sure if it is a good idea. Freenode in particular, IRC in
general, benefits from having a primary and a secondary registered
nick associated with an email address. It is really trivial to set up
and forms the basis of a long-term identity. There are enough ancients
from various IRC channels who are more well known by their
nicks/handles.

Would it be a good idea to have a blog post on the PythonPune website to help new users

on how to register their nick and join the IRC channel?

If you want to re-use content, I'd suggest doing that from
<https://freenode.net/faq.shtml> and putting this link so that users
can always visit it and confirm.

Cool, will do that and will leave +r on the channel as it is :-)

Best way to setup logging for the channel: https://botbot.me

They also have great guides to get new users introduced to IRC: https://botbot.me/irc-guide/#1-1
