Village Idiot:
Connect to an irc channel:
/server <server> /server irc.freenode.org

To join a channel
/join <[#]channel> (eg. /join #libgd)


And personally I would prefer not to go with the google stuff, its all fancy yea but I think it would be better to locate it at talkphp itself as a central point.

And I vote for CVS as versioning, its simple and all that and theres nearly nothing to it
