MOTD on MozNet is really old. Can we please update it with more recent news and channels?

Sure. I'd put this for now, just to remove all obsolete sources for info:

Don't use http://mozilla.com/... it's a redirect to www.mozilla.com, which then redirects elsewhere.

But it takes less space and does eventually redirect to the right place. I'm not sure the mozillamessaging URL will actually fit.
I think Paul would like to add some information here for new contributors.

Ooh, very much so. Specifically, I'd like to direct new coding contributors to #introduction.
Also, as a person who has never seen the MOTD before, I'm a little confused by it. I can't tell what is in #firefox, #thunderbird and #mobile, or why I should go there.
Comment 11•14 years ago

FWIW, irc.mozilla.org misses some of the most popular channels, like #developers, #jsapi, #mobile, etc.
Comment 12•14 years ago

Just remember that the motd should be as brief as possible, since if you want people to actually see it, the important content needs to fit on one screen, as most people won't go into their scrollback to read it.

I'm not sure if we want to list #jsapi, #developers, #bmo, etc. Those are pretty specialized channels I think. But there is a lot of space left in the design above - I don't think we need the stern warning or the port-scan notice. We can just refer people to http://irc.mozilla.org for T&C.
Comment 15•14 years ago

Oh, I'm fine with the MOTD not listing #developers et al, but I think irc.mozilla.org should list them.

Portscan notice needs to be there, we can't remove that. That was the whole idea of that website was to be a more broad source of information.

I'm unclear of which channels we want to be directing people into. For example, I thought #firefox, #mobile and #thunderbird were developer channels? Who is the MOTD targeting, developers or support, or both? Have we got support channels?

What's our action? I think we all agree the MOTD should be just enough information to describe what the network is and help someone randomly connecting to find more information. I'd suggest a big link to the wiki page with all the info and whatever policies need to be stated. For 99.99% of irc users, the MOTD is meaningless and never gets read. For everyone else that actually reads it, it means they are new and should be directed towards the wiki page anyway.

From my experience, #firefox is not a developer channel (that would be #developers or #fx-team) but a support channel, and #mobile is a mixture of both.

How about the below. I don't know if we want that information, but it's no worse than what was there before, I think.

What about
SeaMonkey #seamonkey http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
and depending on what kind of users you want to target:
You got a problem with SeaMonkey?
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.seamonkey
nntp://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.seamonkey
there's also a mailing list (the address escapes me)
all three mirror each other
You want to help develop SeaMonkey?
http://dev.seamonkey.at/
BTW, the "Mobile" and "Thunderbird" support addresses in comment #20 seem to have been swapped.
Comment 22•13 years ago

and here the first and last URLs in comment #21 got swapped -- I wonder how that happened.

...well, no, they didn't. Oh, well, forget the bugspam.

Comment 24•13 years ago

I updated to a mixture of comment 20 and comment 6. I think this is sufficient and all further information should be maintained on the wiki.
