Is there an instant messenger subreddit? Integrating libpurple /
pidgin into quassel is a feature request but likely won't be completed
for years. Can anybody give me a better idea than running finch in a
screen/tmux session? Is there another project out there I'm not aware
of?

Tried bitlbee (i'm on my phone, google it)?

Wow, cool. Thanks, that will do the trick!

You can run bitlbee into irc, although its not exactly the smoothest
way of doing things.

If you like libpurple support, there is also
[minbif](http://minbif.im).

There is also an irssi plugin that enables webcam support! Yes. Webcam
in irssi, a text-only client. Not very high resolution, mind you, but
decent enough I could tell a smile from a frown. :-P

This looks sweet. Think I'll stick with this because of the additional
features.

We have something planned at http://woboq.im/ but not much progress
was made so far.

Thanks, I'll have a gander.

I dont know if this is the kind of program you are looking for, I'm
using **Trillian** for a while now, and it's pretty good.

OT, but it's the first time I've heard about a "distributed IRC
client". If I understood correcly, Quassel seems to be better
discribed by as a Client-Server IRC client. Why the 'distributed'
keyword?
