Well, I guess what I'm asking is, if there were a Matrix bridge for<br>
the #openstack-ironic IRC channel, would that be sufficient for<br>
Ironic to be able to update its documentation with an "easy button"<br>
pointed at Matrix instead of IRC, and connect new users on Matrix<br>
with traditional IRC users for discussion?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Probably yes, assuming we can integrate Matrix with NickServ or drop the NickServ requirement.</div><div><br></div><div>Dmitry<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
