Not all of them use IRC. We can provide technical
support to help
arbitrators install a client on their computer. We could also set up a
CGI:IRC gateway, or make a proxy available, if it proves to be
necessary. The idea of setting up a CGI:IRC gateway for all the
Wikipedia channels has been suggested before, we could probably just do
that, if we have the hardware resources.
CGI:IRC is awkward to use, though, and may be offputting. Is there a free
software Java applet similar to (non-free) jIRC (from jpilot.com)? jIRC is
pretty usable in my experience. (Presumably we can find one that works
under Kaffe, to keep the free software purity ;-)
