20050705: The Linux IRC mini-HOWTO needs a new maintainer. I no longer have the time or interest (I didn't spent more than an hour on IRC in the last years) to maintain it. See this for information on how to become the new maintainer. A tarball of everything, including the last WIP, is available here.
The Linux IRC mini-HOWTO was first released 22 December 2000 as revision 0.05.
This site holds the current revision and a WIP of the next draft.
It's fine if you think it sucks ! I also think it does, so why not help me improve it ? I'm by no means and IRC expert, although I was an addict from 1997 to 2000.
