Comment 73 for bug 392799

I've written a proof-of-concept program that might help... helpers sort through support questions better (although it's not of much use to the people coming in the channel for support).

It is a single PHP file, which can be downloaded from http://pastebin.ca/raw/1773175 (or http://pastebin.ca/1773175 for the syntax-highlighted code).

It does away with joins and parts, and generally presents the channels in a wholly different way from a typical IRC client. More information is in the comments at the beginning of the program (read them! there are configuration settings you need to change).

Feel free to give me any feedback about this program by email or by joining #metabot-client. New versions of the code will be posted in the topic of #metabot-client and #ubuntu-meta.
