I've been a long time GIMPNET user and tried to propose multiple ideas without success and without receiving a good rationale about why things couldn't change. I've seen many people using home-hosted bots to administer channels, I've seen people having to join #opers multiple times to request an OP status or a simple channel update and I feel it's time to find a solution.
What's currently missing on the GIMPNET network: - services. (there's no nickserv, chanserv at all) - TOR is banned. (there is no way to hide your hostmask if you run your IRC client from your home connection) - SSL is not enabled, so all conversations happen in plain text. (even private ones, yeah) - even having a bot administering a channel, setting up its access list is hard with a dynamic IP and DNS. (you can use a wildcard, true, but that will result in someone spoofing your identity if he just wants to) So, the question is, should we migrate away to another network? (like Freenode) or is there a way for GIMPNET to improve its services? _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
