I'd like to propose that zoia (the IRC bot that provides help and entertainment in the #code4lib IRC channel) have some of its normal plugins disabled during conf. With three or four times as many people online during conference, things can get out of hand. Lots of zoia plugins can be useful

At the risk of getting shouted down in public (wouldn't be the first time!), let me just put this out there: perhaps instead of, like, whipping up a Doodle poll for us all to vote on which plugins get temporarily disabled and which ones don't, how about we have a few folks volunteer to gently ask
