What's the benefit to pre-creating channels? > This ensures that the irc.wikimedia.org channel list accurately shows which projects have a channel. As well, clients can't join nonexistent channels, which is wrong and needlessly complicates programming bots/scripts and is confusing for human users. However these are not terribly important - the main issue (IMO) is it feels very wrong to not create channels until an RC event happens & there seems to be no reason to /not/ do it properly. Fred suggested doing this in the rc python code instead of by forging edits with udp packets, which is almost certainly a much better solution. The main issue is actually getting a list of channels to create by parsing it out of db.list or something. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
