Hi all,
Started the wiki article at

https://wiki.hamaralinux.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_and_Using_an_IRC#IRC.2C_the_adolescent_who_never_grew_up

While it's really hard to know why IRC never became a standard even 
though it had quite a few RFC's under the belt (I know some of the 
motivations but still :( )

Anyways, have started it.

While I can give/share some more abbreviations and things that are 
observed, we are stuck due to the absence of throwaway phone numbers :(

An unintended side-benefit of this phone is that advertisers wouldn't be 
able to send you spam as it would die soonish.

Unlike UK or States or any other place, we can't have a throwaway phone 
number. I had shared with Aparna quite a few online resources but all 
fail on the Indian scenario.

I am hoping we can have a throwaway phone number so we can show all the 
messages that the server sends while authenticating the mail id.

Once that authentication and recovery part is over, the account can be 
deleted and the same number be re-used to make another account and do 
the same thing all over again so we have screenshots of the scenario 
from both the IRC clients.

Look forward to hearing from all.
