Well, there again, if it happens, I personally would prefer that it
used the same protocol as all the other IRC networks - efnet,
undernet, whatever. Because I'd be 10 times more likely to fire up
another screen and logon using a unix IRC client than to sit with a
dedicated browser window using it.
I know most people would prefer a web interface, but I bet there is a
way to give it one and allow mIRC and other common IRC clients to use
it as well.
