Is anyone from Freenode on this list or able to respond? I feel like they'd be open to the conversation and hearing general thoughts from a designated group even before we know what carrot we'll offer.

I think investigating networks more receptive both to our bot needs and accepting our partner wikis. -Greg ____________ Sent from my iPhone. Apologies for any typos.
