Hi Jean-Philippe

I am not sure if this is the same thing, I did help to moderate irc & 
Mumble at libreplanet, most of this was just being in the room / channel 
and keeping an eye / ear out for signs of problems.

However there was occasions where someone was asking for technical help, 
so I directed them to the right channel for support.

I think the main issue I spotted was an argument brewing on vi vs emacs, 
I know this is an emotive topic, so made a report (well mentioned it to 
fsf staff mods) so it could be monitored further to ensure it didn't get 
out of hand.

I am happy to do something similar at DebConf,  so report issues to 
moderators etc.

Hope this helps
