Interesting. Can you tell me what you think of Quassel as a protocol?

It's very specialized and last time I looked at it, it was based on Qt types and other ugly things. It would not be realistic as an alternative protocol for IRC itself.

Just a note that the QDataStream format is documented, and has been implemented in other languages such as Java. That doesn't mean that the Quassel protocol should replace IRC of course. :-)
