I would really love to help out with the IRC server, im rather skilled with IRC, bots, etc. And would not mind helping out with the web management. And if you ask me, a step like this will be almost necessary for the continued growth of the community. You should also add groups like "The Mapping Guru" and "The [ai-botname] Groupe" or somthing to add a bit more depth to the sense of community. I dunno, i guess i talk alot?
