This is a little tricky due to the way mozilla langpacks work. But see
firefox's spec file for how to change this

Similar problem. But you could easily have an html file on the desktop
that's "Test Day Information" with just a redirect to the wiki test day
page (and then just keep that front page on the wiki current)

I think the only irc client on the live images right now is pidgin. And
no clue how to integrate pidgin's irc support enough to do this...

Doing so would require a substantial amount of work -- kdump is an
entirely separate initrd infrastructure :(
