It depends on your client: if text based, just copy In a GUI
might be a user list, where you can right click a person to do something
specific with her.

I like the idea of making the page more useful to persons like me who have
no idea how IRC works yet without 'bloat' or information beyond links to a
few good outside sources for details beyond basics that is needed to start
using the #GnuCash channel.

I know that another thing I would like to know is how to address in-channel
comments to others so that when more than one person is commenting I can
address one of them easily without manually typing their nick-name every
time.  It looks like the seasoned users have a trick that I haven't
learned.  I do not use IRC for any other purpose than asking questions
about GnuCash, so I do not practice in channels for other topics, and I
suspect most other GnuCash users that happen by are also not heavy IRC
users.

Re: [GNC] IRC access

I am  pretty sure the section can be slenderized.

You have both not been there, when the attack was waging. I watched lags
of several minutes between sending a commnd and seeing its execution.
That is the reason why I copied the very first help screens.

After setting the moderation flag on the channel, my worst case scenario
was a user, who fears he lost his data and can now additionally not ask
in the channel.

Probably a more user friendly structure might be:

Just try the link irc://...
If successful continue with "register a nick"
else install a client, see lists, and retry

with the definitions, where required.

I agree. It would be appropriate to have brief information related to gnucash 
on IRC, with pointers to official resources. 
90% of the content in the current page should go. The introductory paragraph 
followed by the server, channel, and link to IRC download and help pages should 
be it.

I don't think it's reasonable or practical to replicate all of mankind's

I don't think it's reasonable or practical to replicate all of mankind's 
knowledge in our Wiki. It makes sense that we include information about GnuCash

Re: [GNC] IRC access

That looks like what I need.  Could that link and perhaps more for other
clients be added to the GnuCash faq for IRC access, probably in section on
client setup with a reference by the section about getting a voice.
