I am not an "irc" specialist, but aiui freenode *only* provides access to irc like a server and gimp's irc address is #gimp. And I guess irc.gimp.org is the same, a server providing access to irc which has #gimp. And I would bet that registering one one is the same as the other and effectively is registering on "irc" and not *particularly* freenode or irc.gimp.org. I do not normally watch #gimp on irc but am able to join using "/j #gimp" from any open screen in weechat. but I do know that having a registered nick and doing the identify using a password is *now* required, and that the message you are receiving about being invited is related to the ident. maybe someone with more irc knowledge will pipe in. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
