I also want to say that http://opietest.handhelds.org is now pointing to my 
server, and I'm in talks with the freenode people to get our IRC channel 
consolidated to #opie (not #handhelds-opie until we come to the point of 
discussing that). Harlekin on IRC (I think that's you Max, right) needs to 
send a msg to the freenode sysop RichiH just saying that the differences are 
being resolved and to allow me to op the channel. George has already done so. 
We'll then merge everything back together and setup more details about 
authority in the channel.

Ps: Max, I didn't realize you were even involved until the sysop told me. I 
would have tried harder to get you in on the discusion if I had known. Sorry, 
and I hope you're agreeable to whats going on. Email me if you have any 
questions.
