We can register the with channelops to have better control. I haven't officially registered it - we can do this. You too can be operator if you have an authenticated user you too can.

We could setup a friendly IRC web gateway to this channel - if we have a specific use case in mind and some hosting facility. > > Let's work together to create a just and sustainable world! Yes! I was replying to this mostly :-) While I see how IRC is a bit technical for most teachers I think we can do a lot by uniting python-education-promoters and tool-makers.
