Re: Irssi next generation

I have worked on something very similar (starting in 1998) but have had 
to abandon all activity related to this due to lack of time.

I have some information related to this on my site at:

http://robscorner.org/irchub/

The bottom two documents on the page (the introduction document and the 
technical design document) describe some of my ideas and conclusions. 
There are also some screenshots of the GUI portion of the system I 
developed for various platforms (none of which, unfortunately, left beta 
stage).

In short, I believe that it's a good idea. It does however require a 
good degree of planning to "get right", I think.

Regards,
Robert
