-== IRC authentication ==
-<b>Libera.chat defaults to blocking private messages from unauthentified users! All users should register their nicknames to be able to message one another privately, by following the instructions below.</b> If you're really unable to register, you should ask your correspondent to [https://libera.chat/guides/usermodes consider setting usermode <tt>-R</tt>, and <tt>+g</tt>]
-To register an account with NickServ, please follow [https://libera.chat/guides/registration the registration instructions provided by libera.chat staff].
-You will then receive an e-mail containing a link to activate you account. After doing so, you need to configure your client to auto-authenticate. The recommended way of doing that is using [https://libera.chat/guides/sasl SASL authentication].
-For matrix, the relevant docs is here: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv
-libera.chat also supports authentication via [https://libera.chat/guides/certfp TLS client certificates (using SASL EXTERNAL)].
-=== Matrix bridge ===
-For registering an account through the Matrix bridge ([https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv relevant docs here]), please follow these instructions:
-. Choose a short nickname (the default nickname picked by the matrix bridge has a [m] and can be quite long, as it defaults to your Matrix display name (minus non-ASCII non-alphanumerical characters)
- /msg @appservice:libera.chat !nick <USERNAME>
-. Send this command to NickServ to register your account:
- /msg @NickServ:libera.chat register <PASSWORD> <EMAIL>
-. Once you receive the confirmation email with a token, activate your account by using:
- /msg @NickServ:libera.chat VERIFY REGISTER <USERNAME> <TOKEN RECEIVED BY EMAIL>
-. Give the Matrix bridge appservice your password so that you get identified automatically when matrix reconnects you to IRC:
- /msg @appservice:libera.chat !username <USERNAME>
- /msg @appservice:libera.chat !storepass <PASSWORD>
-== IRC access list ==
-To auto-voice people with a registered nick (only doable by people with +fA access modes will be able to do it), add them to the team channel access list:
- /msg chanserv flags #swh-team add <nickname> Staff
-Other channels pick their ACLs from that of the #swh-team channel.
-If you already have the right (+o ChanServ flag), you can make yourself an operator, with:
- /msg chanserv OP #swh-devel
