radical proposal: move IRC to Rocket.Chat

[Adriaan de Groot]

Luigi says it well: there is a point to this exercise in figuring out what is 
desired / required of an IM system. That can be interesting in and of itself 
-- I've gone and interviewed my daughter on her use of different IM systems, 
and found a whole hierarchy of needs and fine distinctions in the under-16 
crowd.

Well-said. It may be possible to figure out a common core of functionality that 
is desired; that same list might be held up as a checklist for bridges; might 
also be a list to look at and go "IM can do that?"

The etherpad seems to be unchanged in the last 12 hours at least, perhaps it 
is time to clean it up, categorize the requirements and post it (Thomas, you 
were instrumental in trying to make a constructive discussion out of this, can 
you take a look?)
