    [$] Turmoil at the freenode IRC network
    Internet Relay
    Chat     (IRC) is a longstanding protocol—or series of protocols—for
    creating online,
    text-based chat rooms.
    While many of the "channels" (as chat rooms are usually called) are highly useful to
    a wide variety of projects and organizations, including much of the
    free-software world,
    IRC seems to have a community that suffers from
    more than its fair share of disagreements, hostile forks, vitriol, and other types of
    divisiveness. It is perhaps no huge surprise, then, that the IRC
    world is currently undergoing another of its periodic upheavals. The
    largest IRC network, freenode, is
    embroiled in a messy dispute that has led
    to the mass resignation
    of many of its volunteer staff, the founding of a competitor network (run by the former staff),
    and its abandonment by multiple high-profile projects.
