Just that, it's not a strict, consistent rule regarding what +suffix to use for what purpose (be it language-based, location-based, +using language or country or ccTLD code); it's more like a "first come +first served" usage. Which I don't blame; it's something else, has the +great merit to simplify the setup. + +We can go for that, it will be easier for everyone and stop the fuss, +provided some naming guidance rules: + - use the suffix you want in the #mageia-{suffix} format (reserved +are -council, -board and other roles/teams related ones - ask in case +of doubt); you may actually use a totally different name for your +channel, won't prevent from being referenced; + - first come, first served, + - contact the IRC Mageia team (email/irc contact to define) to get it +listed with all Mageia-related channels (we ought to dedicate a page +for that on the wiki - that will be the main entry point anyway - +<A HREF="http://irc.mozilla.org/">http://irc.mozilla.org/</A> looks like a good template). + +So, no consistency planned for language/location for channels, let's +grow this.
