People who don't follow this thread (or list) might not be aware that we have channels at both services now, but since we do, should the website be updated? Attaching a rough-draft patch. Not committing it yet because: It's not currently clear to me which path we wish to take: Move to libera and declare the freenode channels deprecated? Stay on both indefinitely? Wait longer to see how things play out? Accessibility: currently freenode provides a web interface and we have an archive of those channels; I'm not aware of either for the libera channels. Given the above points, is it too early to update the website? Cheers, Nathan
