We should study the IRC protocol carefully and all its variations and extensions implemented in the most advanced IRC networks out there, before designing our own distributed chat protocol.

I agree wholeheartedly with learning what we can from irc, but there is a footnote: IRC hasn't resolved some of the issues (netsplits etc), and I'm keen that we don't duplicate IRC so closely that we end up with the same problems they have.
