If I read http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml correctly, they seem to have 16 servers up and running. I never had any major problems connecting. As opposed to us having a single point of failure. Besides, freenode is where I'd look for most free project's IRC channels. Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin, (blin at gmx dot net) Reapply as necessary.
