The #buildroot IRC channel recently changed from only allowing
registered users to join to allowing anyone to join but only allowing
registered users to talk in the channel. This still avoids the spam
problem on IRC while allowing an exception for users bridged from
matrix.org. These already have a username registered on the matrix side
and thus similar properties as a registered IRC user/nick.
The commands to set these options were:
* Set +q on all unregistered nicks: ~/mode #buildroot +q $~a~ this lets
people join but they can't talk
* Set exempt on matrix hosts: ~/mode #buildroot +e $x:matrix.org~

So use lore for the search form.

Due to the recent events at Frenode [0], the channel has become a bit
unreliable (much spammed), and users have started to move away already,
as quite a few other projects have moved their IRC presence away from
Freenode.
There are a few alternatives. The first to spring to mind, is the new
Libera.Chat network [1], managed by the previous Freenode staff, so we
could expect quite a good experience there. However, it is a very young
network. The second well known alternative is the long-established OFTC,
which has been very reliable in its 20 years of existence.
So, let's move to OFTC, just because it has a track-record of robustness
(which Libera.Chat still has to build, for being young).
Note: there are a lot of other IRC networks, some very good too, but we
probably would be much off-topic on most of them.

Due to excessive spamming on Freenode, the IRC channel is currently
restricted to registered users. Since this may not be obvious for
people not familiar with IRC, let's mention it on our website, with a
link to the relevant documentation.

This patch introduces a new buildroot website based on a modern flat
layout inspired by material design.
Each page of the old website is converted to the new css/layout, the
big bump is in main page which is completely rewritten. Content of
the old website is copied more or less verbatim, planning to add more
content in the future.
