IRC hooks
Create hooks for connecting to echoplexus through an IRC client with basic functionality
Agreed, it'd be awesome if echoplexus could also be an IRC client
No, sorry I meant that existing IRC clients could connect to echoplexus. echoplexus being an irc client would be cool too, but that would be a different bug!
This could be achieved by creating a freenode channel such as #echo-[echoplexus-room-name] for each room and using the existing irc support to make sure that everything sent from echoplexus and IRC goes through. Alternatively, echoplexus could create a new IRC network...but that would be more work and add an additional hurdle to those who are already connected to freenode
