Sounds interesting, yes.

As long as you don't need a lot of protocol-dependant code, that's not really 
a problem I think. It's not because it also *can* do IRC/SILC that anyone has 
to use it for those protocols too.

It should be kept separate from the irssi source. There are some more modules 
at http://svn.irssi.org/repos/modules/trunk/, this could be added there (or in 
/contrib maybe).
For getting access to commit in subversion, contact Geert :)
