ahh, irc ... but we use twitter, facebook, g+ these days :-). Actually I 
like irc and used to be there, but lately it was quite impossible 
time-wise to be online for long time and join the channels. Maybe other 
people can stay there and if they cannot answer, then they will suggest 
or even bring themselves the topic on mailing lists. The mailing lists 
stays the main and most convenient support channel for community from my 
point of view at this moment.

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.

This can be done and hopefully will help.
