Stop running CGI:IRC on irc.openstreetmap.org #374
Comments
Another problem is that Ubuntu no longer have That's why the irc cookbook didn't get a test, because the test can't work as it can't install the package... |
I am in favour of us redirecting. Alternatively we could publish a static page with links to https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=#osm https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=#osm-dev etc. |
I think this would be the best option, since we have a bunch of different channels which are otherwise hard to discover. |
on CGI:IRC I like the drop-down o box to choose a channel to join. Unfortunately the iframed webchat.oftc.net doesn't behave like that. It lets us specify multiple channels but that ends up like this: https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=osm%2Cosm-dev%2Chot%2Cosm-gb&uio=MT11bmRlZmluZWQb1 ...which lets the user join all the channels all at once. Guess we could make our own form to launch https://webchat.oftc.net |
Here is the list of channel: https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/cgiirc/templates/default/cgiirc.config.erb#L11 I would list each out individually and with a separate link to https://webchat.oftc.net for each. |
Done. |
Seems like we should think about ceasing with running CGI:IRC ( http://cgiirc.org/ perl IRC web client) on irc.openstreetmap.org for a couple of reasons:
When I say "stop running" we could either just redirect irc.openstreetmap.org to https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=#osm
Or (better?) we could embed it as an iframe with some channel presets. This is something they encourage on there. See the "Add webchat to your site" option.
