Help Needed - General Topic

New to managing IRC channels, and I have some general questions about managing a set of chat rooms for a startup.

Are there any FAQs, guides, how-to documents, or related errata that would tell an IT guy how to manage IRC chat rooms? In general, I know _what_ I want to do, but the specifics (from an IRC universe point of view) are driving me nuts.

Umm.... well IRC Networks have different types of
services.

Some networks have nick/channel management services
and some don't... the ones having these services may different
in the types of services provided as well.

The best channel management, nick management services
as well as memo services are used with networks such as
DALnet which uses services such as ChanServ, NickServ and
MemoServ etc.

While as for networks such as EFnet there are no services there
so managing channels over there basically has nothing todo with
network services.

If you want to read about ChanServ, NickServ services on DALnet
you can find their official documents here:
