We've made some changes to the site to clarify the purpose and role
of a
group contact. Please look at
http://freenode.net/group_contacts.shtml
which should explain it better.
Thank you for the improvements. Now the page seems to describe the
group contact more clearly.
I am still not sure what this "official relationship between freenode
and" debian is about. It seems to be that debian says "we have an
official presence on freenode" and freenode says "debian has an
official presence on freenode". Nothing about what freenode does for
debian. Does freenode still control #debian* channels, rather than
debian? That would be worrying given that human contact with freenode
"will be replaced by a web-based system in the not-too-distant future"
apparently even for the group contact. It is easy to imagine another
problem like the notice spam and having even fewer channels of
communication.
The channel wording improvement is also good.
