 Ah, excellent.  Should we put this in the IRC topic line?


 if there is still some space in the topic ... sure!

 Is there any cross-check on the correctness of this list?


 (Hint: if someone shows up in IRC claiming to be me, he's more than
 likely lying.)


That is what registering your nick is supposed to help for.

As have been said, there is a registration service that makes it harder 
to steal nicks.


There is no guarantee that anyone who claim to be this or that really is 
who he say he is. On the other hand, a lot of us have been there most 
every day the last 5 years or so and after a while you do get to know 
the guy (or girl) behind the nick.

In the special case of you I'm pretty sure we would spot it very fast if 
someone is pretending to be you. And if someone can fool us he would be 
just as good as having the real thing in the channel :-)

[HACKERS] OT: IRC nick to real world mapping

2007-02-12 Thread Lukas Kahwe Smith

Hi,

I know this is slightly off topic, but I hope still useful enough to not 
get my head cut off for posting this:

http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/IRC2RWNames

This is essentially a mapping of IRC nicks to real world names. While 
maintaining the wishlist I keep forgetting the IRC nicks of people to 
map to from the wishlist real world names. But I think this could be 
generally useful, so I started the list. Please mail me off list with 
whatever editions people have.


regards,
Lukas
