I would definitely make sure that you can get connected and interact
with IRC before putting tons of effort in to a fancy GUI. I am doing
much the same thing with a telnet (mud) client, and I am having much
difficulty getting the ANSI color support to be fast enough.

I have written a C extension to parse the server output for the ANSI
codes, but it's still too slow.

Just one opinion...
