Editing CommunityData:IRC to Matrix migration (section)

== Creating New Channels ==

The process moving forward is going to be to:
# Create a Matrix channel within the "CDSC Space" (NOTE: be sure to make it NOT end-to-end encrypted)
# Create an IRC channel, make sure you have (registered the channel with chanserv) and have ops (i.e., the operator bit) on the IRC channel. 
# Find an administrator on the CDSC Matrix space; they will manually plumb/integrate/connect the matrix channel into the IRC channel by following the instructions here: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/07/make-sure-libera-bridge-keeps-working/ (the link is now under extensions)

This is what I have been doing manually for every channel you see here in the space.

If you want help with this, contact one of the VERIFIERS on the list above.

If we don't want a channel to be visible to people on IRC, we don't have to plumb (i.e., connect) it. It will just exist entirely within Element/Matrix. We should only do this for truly private channels.

If you have channels created entirely within the Element UI and that are not bridged to IRC (i.e., channels to which no IRC people are or can connect), no action is needed for migration, but you should follow the above process if you want IRC users to be able to join.
