Talk:Task:maemo.org IRC cloaks

Maybe I'm stupid, and I rarely use IRC. ;-) But what is a "cloak" and why would I want it. nathanael

Wikipedia has a useful overview: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Cloaks Essentially it provides 3 things:
  1. Privacy, since your IP is no longer displayed for all of the world.
  2. Bling, since you know you've arrived when you've got a maemo.org cloak. ;)
  3. Identification, it helps other users spot important and useful people in the organization.
