This is a configuration error I think.  There was a similar one in
Guile.  The fundamental issue is that we are not irc experts :)  The
derived issue is that someone suggested the "/mode +r" command to remove
a spam problem.  But for some reason that is preventing people from
joining.  Goran Weinholt then suggested "/mode -r" but "/mode +q $~a",
as what #scheme and #chez were using; that lets anyone join but only
registered users speak.  However in the meantime the only ops in #guix
were unavailable.  I think this will get fixed whenever Mark, Ricardo,
or Ludo can get around to it.

Visit #guile for technical support in the meantime.
