Okay, we're developing the irc thing at work. So while my head is full of
irc stuff I'd like to take the opportunity to develop some IRC stuff for
plan9 / Inferno.

I've done the bot but it was pretty simplistic.

I'm inspired to do a client (and I kinda promised ;).

Is anyone interested in contributing?
Even if it's just at the design and planning stage.

I'd welcome anyone's input.
I've got plenty of ideas of what I'd like to see.

I know I said it'd be Limbo on Inferno but that's not set in stone.
Acme strikes me as a good application host for irc which would make it
"cross platform" (plan9 AND inferno!)
On the other hand I'd like to get to grips with tk on Inferno (and then I
might get a free T-Shirt too!)
