Have been trying out WeeChat (0.3.5) and am liking it so far  

Nice docs, nice plugins (perl, python, lua, weeget, mouse, grep, etc), ..., much niceness.

future

Hoping the OTR stuff becomes a bit easier soon.

Yah really is gorgeous, paws crossed Gothi[c] will have a chance to create the essential missing element

Currently using 0.3.7 -- thought I'd jot down some notes for getting started.  May be that will help me out when I inevitably lose my configuration

To start the terminal ui:

$ weechat-curses

Once started, adding a server with SSL access - sadly with bad work-arounds:

/server add efnet irc.swepipe.se/6697 -ssl
/set irc.server.efnet.ssl_dhkey_size 768
/set irc.server.efnet.ssl_verify off

To save the current configuration:

/save

Connect to a server previously specified in settings (see above):

/connect efnet

Specify nick and join #donationcoder:

/nick somenick
/join #donationcoder

Disconnect from a server:

/disconnect

Getting help:

/help

Handy for viewing some config options (/set with wildcards):

/set *ssl*

All good things...

/quit

I don't use irc much these days (i should visit the DC channel, shouldnt i?) but weechat is my default option nowadays - the multi platform angle was the main reason I tried it, but it stayed on my machine because it is pretty nicely done
