This sounds like an absolutely wonderful idea to me. Trying to write scripts that work with a variety of ircds has become a total nightmare. Often times two networks will have identical features that are implemented in different ways thus making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to make everything work correctly. Creating said documentation won't eliminate this problem, of course, but it will certainly make things easier. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help this along. :-) Brian
