i think theres definitely a place for a decent gui for IRSSI, so long as you are not just going to make another mediocre knockoff of the Xchat/mIRC paradigm. i mean something that preserves the existing windowing, but allows you to left click on a nick or channel in the window to instantly join/query, while right click would present a menu of options like, /who $channel, /whois $nick, ctcp stuff etc...plus perhaps a small button bar near the bottom or side for next/previous window/channel etc, and drag'n'drop support for file dcc'ing right onto niccks etc, and of course one click url-opening. i really hate traditional gui clients because of how they seperate each channel into its own tab and have ridiculously convoluted preference setting windows and other annoying crap but irssi could definitely benefit in many ways from direct mouse access to all elements of its text interface... cr
