            Bug ID: 295526
           Summary: Mention the FreeBSD mailing lists and IRC channels in
                    the MoTD, alongside the forums
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ant-x@rambler.ru

I propose to improve the default message-of-the-day
template:
   /etc/motd.template
by adding URLs to FreeBSD's traditional community media, in
addition to the forums:

FreeBSD Forums:        https://forums.FreeBSD.org/
FreeBSD Mailing Lists: https://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists/
FreeBSD IRC channels : https://wiki.freebsd.org/IRC

Altenatively, the forums URL can be replaced with the
general community URL:

FreeBSD Community:     https://www.freebsd.org/community/

I prefer the latter modification, because it is shorter, and
includes all the community media.
