  34 <PRE>     Posting on the list is actually the preferred method of requesting
  35 features; however, I don't always respond immediately--sometimes (as here)
  36 I like to wait and see what other reaction there is from the community.
  37 (On the other hand, I shoot down things I don't like or things in the FAQ
  38 immediately--so not seeing any response from me may be a good sign. ;) )
  39
  40      As far as the feature itself goes, I'm ambivalent at the moment; I
  41 certainly understand the need for security, but on the whole Services isn't
  42 designed to be controllable from outside IRC, and I'm hesitant about adding
  43 in a hack for that purpose without giving it some good design thought.
  44 What you might want to try doing is writing a module, say nickserv/regcrypt,
  45 that borrows from do_register() in nickserv/main.c; that's more portable
  46 than patching the distributed code directly.

  52 &gt;<i>I'm just wondering if there is any 'official' feature request process or
  53 </I>&gt;<i>if Andrew Church just takes what he likes from this list into account
  54 </I>&gt;<i>when adding new features. I do appreciate Anton Wolkov's input, but I
  55 </I>&gt;<i>was hoping for a response from the developer at least either agreeing
  56 </I>&gt;<i>with or shooting down my idea/request.
  57 </I>&gt;<i>
  58 </I>&gt;<i>Maybe I should roll up my sleeves and write a patch myself (sigh.)
