Description

See #3721 for background.

We have registered #tahoe-lafs IRC channel with irc.libera.chat's ChanServ. We probably should also register Tahoe-LAFS project with Libera.Chat. See their docs on project registration for details. Basically: "project registration allows your project or organisation to have an official representation on our services and relationship with us."

Advantages of registering a project are, to quote Libera.Chat's docs again:

  • Channels in their namespace can be claimed
  • Optional cloaks are available for members. These replace the hostname part with a custom string, e.g. @yourproject/developer/alex or @yourproject/taylor
  • We offer to send messages about important releases or events of your project as a “wallop” message to all our users who opted in to receiving these

Those seem like good things, so I emailed them, and received this in response:

Hello!

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you; we've been absolutely swamped
with a registration backlog, abuse mitigation, and network maintenance and
patching.

To assist with project verification, please perform the following:

1) Prove control over tahoe-lafs.org via either:
1A) Create the DNS TXT record libera-[redacted].tahoe-lafs.org
    (with any content)
1B) Create the file /.well-known/libera-[redacted].txt on the web
    server (with any content)

2) Prove control over the GitHub organisation via either:
2A) Creation of the source code repository
    https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/libera-[redacted] (with any content)
2B) Creation of the branch libera-[redacted] in the source code
    repository https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/ (with any content)

Regards,
Aaron Jones (amdj)
LiberaChat Staff

I can't do 1A, 1B, and 2A. I can do 2B. I could use this ticket number for creating a branch.
