Batching doesn't help all that much, there's enough staff around to handle one-off requests so I would personally say that avoiding batches would work fine for the time being. Maybe if the volume started being dozens of requests per day and it started flooding out other things, but 30 cloaks over 60 days is pretty much nothing. However, if such a system was devised, don't require Libera staff to make use of bot commands to flag a request as "done" or the like; the interaction should basically be only from the bot to staff. Also, from personal experience, some of the requests that have been sent to Libera staff in the past have contained invalid characters, so it will be important for an automated system to ensure that cannot happen moving forward. <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Skizzerz" class="extiw" title="mw:User:Skizzerz">Skizzerz</a> (<a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Skizzerz" class="extiw" title="mw:User talk:Skizzerz">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Noticeboard?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-Skizzerz-2022-05-10T22:36:00.000Z-Legoktm-2022-05-10T20:27:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:36, 10 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skizzerz-2022-05-10T22:36:00.000Z-Legoktm-2022-05-10T20:27:00.000Z"><span id="ooui-php-12" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui="{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}"><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skizzerz-2022-05-10T22:36:00.000Z-Legoktm-2022-05-10T20:27:00.000Z"></span> </dd> </dl> </dd> </dl> </dd> <dd> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-MZMcBride-2022-05-10T18:57:00.000Z-Legoktm-2022-05-10T18:45:00.000Z"></span>What Lego said.

The "limit" of 4 GCs is an artificial one and we can select more GCs if that's needed. Yes, I agree that we sometimes have lackluster levels of activity, but sometimes a nice reminder on chat can fix that easily (just like this one did). It's of course the case that we sometimes have real life obligations or lower our activities (I for one am present on wiki almost every day, but I did leave IRC for ~2 weeks for my vacation), but I don't think that deserves admonishment. I believe this role requires trust first and foremost and I think we can easily find trustworthy individuals in our community that are willing to devote a fragment of their time to this. I think we'll internally talk about expanding the group a bit. As for automating cloaking, I don't really agree with that, since there is some manual labor required (checking users for local/global bans and evaluating against that; fixing some cloaks that the wmopbot doesn't do well with -- that could potentially be fixed though). --<a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:Dungodung?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:Dungodung"><span style="color:blue;">F<b>ili</b>P</span></a> <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User_talk:Dungodung?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User talk:Dungodung">██</a> <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Noticeboard?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z-TheresNoTime-2022-05-10T11:27:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:48, 11 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z-TheresNoTime-2022-05-10T11:27:00.000Z"><span id="ooui-php-15" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui="{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}"><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z-TheresNoTime-2022-05-10T11:27:00.000Z"></span> <dl> <dd> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TheresNoTime-2022-05-11T20:42:00.000Z-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z"></span>I do want to make it clear that none of the above was geared towards anything <i>close</i> to admonishment 😊 real life should and <i>must</i> always come before any volunteer commitments, and I am sure I speak for every active IRC user when I say that we appreciate the time and effort you all have given, and continue to give, to the projects! — <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:TheresNoTime?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:TheresNoTime">TNT</a> (<a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User_talk:TheresNoTime?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User talk:TheresNoTime">talk</a> • she/her) <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Noticeboard?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-TheresNoTime-2022-05-11T20:42:00.000Z-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:42, 11 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TheresNoTime-2022-05-11T20:42:00.000Z-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z"><span id="ooui-php-16" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui="{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}"><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TheresNoTime-2022-05-11T20:42:00.000Z-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z"></span> </dd> <dd> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-MZMcBride-2022-05-11T21:14:00.000Z-Dungodung-2022-05-11T19:48:00.000Z"></span>We should eliminate any manual labor in order to streamline the process.

IRC is not important, and it should remain unimportant, so I don’t expect most people to appreciate this, but it has been good to solve problems together and I think we all learnt a lot from the experience, and, hopefully, kept IRC useful for everyone else.</p></td> <td valign="bottom" style="color:silver;font-size:3.6em;font-family:serif;font-weight:bold;text-align:right;padding:10px 0;">„</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" style="padding:1ex 0 0 0;"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>—<a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:Sean_Whitton?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:Sean Whitton">Sean Whitton</a></p> <p><small><a class="external text" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2011-May/065566.html">original post on foundation-l</a> --<a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:Dungodung?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:Dungodung"><span style="color:blue;">F<b>ili</b>P</span></a> <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User_talk:Dungodung?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User talk:Dungodung">██</a> <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Noticeboard?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-Dungodung-2011-05-20T10:53:00.000Z-IRC_Group_Contacts_Chairship_handover" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:53, 20 May 2011 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Dungodung-2011-05-20T10:53:00.000Z-IRC_Group_Contacts_Chairship_handover"><span id="ooui-php-32" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui="{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}"><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Dungodung-2011-05-20T10:53:00.000Z-IRC_Group_Contacts_Chairship_handover"></span></p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section">  <h2 id="Developer_needed" data-mw-thread-id="h-Developer_needed-2009-12-03T13:33:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Developer_needed-2009-12-03T13:33:00.000Z"></span>Developer needed<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Developer_needed-2009-12-03T13:33:00.000Z"></span></h2> <div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"> <div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"> <span class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-timestampLabel">Latest comment: <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts/Noticeboard?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-Rjd0060-2009-12-03T13:33:00.000Z-Developer_needed">14 years ago</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-commentCountLabel">1 comment</span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-authorCountLabel">1 person in discussion</span> </div> <div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions">  </div> </div> </div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Rjd0060-2009-12-03T13:33:00.000Z-Developer_needed"></span>We're looking for a developer to create and maintain a new cloak request system.

James Forrester, previously chair of the group, has stepped down due to real life commitments inhibiting him from being as active as he once was. On behalf of everyone who uses IRC I'd like to thank him for all the work he has put into the role, and personally I thank him for his guidance while I was deputy IRC Group Contact in fulfilling the role as best as possible; it was invaluable advice.</p><p>With James leaving the post of chair, I have taken on this role and I now have three new deputies:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:Cbrown1023?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:Cbrown1023">Casey Brown</a> (<code>kibble</code> on IRC)</li> <li><a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:Dungodung?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:Dungodung">Filip Maljkovic</a> (<code>dungodung</code> on IRC)</li> <li><a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:Rjd0060?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:Rjd0060">Ryan</a> (<code>Rjd0060</code> on IRC).</li> </ul><p>James and I, with the involvement of these three and a small team of other IRC representatives and functionaries, chose these three as people we know and trust enough to be able to work with, and as users who we feel suit the Group Contact role well, and of course who have the time and motivation to carry out the job.</p><p>What is the role of the Group Contact, then, that I have just mentioned? We have set this down for ourselves far more rigorously than before. Over late 2008 to early 2009 the levels of service from James and I have been very poor compared to what is rightly expected by the community - we appreciate that things have been poor. So the new group has come up with ways of trying to engage with everyone involved in IRC more. We intend to try to touch base with our Channel Contacts significantly more often, first by encouraging them to join us in <bdi dir="ltr" id="wikimedia-ops"><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=irc://irc.libera.chat/wikimedia-ops" class="extiw" title="irc:wikimedia-ops"><bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr" style="font-family: monospace,Courier; white-space: nowrap;">#wikimedia-ops</bdi></a><sup lang="en" dir="auto" class="plainlinks"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://web.libera.chat/?channel%3D%23wikimedia-ops"><span style="color: green; text-decoration: inherit; -moz-text-decoration-color: green; text-decoration-color: green;">connect</span></a></sup></bdi> (<bdi dir="ltr" id="wikimedia-irc"><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=irc://irc.libera.chat/wikimedia-irc" class="extiw" title="irc:wikimedia-irc"><bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr" style="font-family: monospace,Courier; white-space: nowrap;">#wikimedia-irc</bdi></a><sup lang="en" dir="auto" class="plainlinks"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://web.libera.chat/?channel%3D%23wikimedia-irc"><span style="color: green; text-decoration: inherit; -moz-text-decoration-color: green; text-decoration-color: green;">connect</span></a></sup></bdi> has been closed and redirected to -ops to try and centralise discussion). They already do a great job but we feel they could benefit from greater support from the Group Contacts. We intend to be around more to be involved in discussions, but we are going to try and remain laid back in terms of using authority directly: the fact that power is delegated to channel contacts and their operator teams, we feel, is an important part of IRC running smoothly.</p><p>On a technical note, you may see the nick wmfgc around freenode - this is an account used to hold GC priviledges,
