I couldn't come online for quite awhile....
No, you didnt miss anything, I missed to explain new thoughts I came
up with:
If the irc server is already connected with the django site, why not
offer users the possibility of chatting via js-powered chat like in
facebook. But therefor the irc server must be informed somehow.
