Yeah, I'm an op on freenode.   I've been considering migrating to google 
chat from multi-protocol Pidgin app, so it hasn't been up.  (just 
started it)

I'm not sure if we need an XMLTV IRC chat... I don't remember the last 
time there was any actual help provided over it.... of course if someone 
wants to create one and monitor it, go for it!

I haven't decided if I'm going to migrate to libra.chat or just drop IRC and stick with Google Hangouts (or whatever it's called now).... I really don't have frequent IRC chats.
