Hey Daniel,

Does IRC support this kind of
channel name aliasing, e.g., #kamailio and
#sip-router to end up in the same channel? I think I looked for such
option, but didn't find it.
I was just assuming that it worked somehow because I often find myself
being forwarded. By virtue of Google, I found this blog post which
claims that it is in fact feasible:
http://www.geekshed.net/2010/03/can-i-link-two-channels/
Money quote:
"Linking two channels together is very easy, as it only involves setting
two channel modes – the first sets a limit of X people that can be in
the channel, and the second sets the channel to send people to after X
people have joined the main channel.
[...]
So if I wanted to forward my channel #Inara to #Adria, I would do the
following: /mode #Inara +lL 1 #Adria. If I wanted to always have the
channel set like that, so that nobody could change it, I would use
chanserv’s mlock option, and do: /msg chanserv set #Inara mlock +lL 1
#Adria."

It might be helpful for the project if more of us
try to connect to
the #kamailio and #sip-router channels more frequently.
Speaking of ways to
improve IRC, the following ideas come to my mind:
- Shut down #Kamailio and let it point at #sip-router instead. I see no
real benefit in maintaining two distinct channels.
