It can do a million things, but I don't think you're required to do any of them. This is the sum total of my erc-related init code: (defun my-freenode () (interactive) (require 'erc) (erc-tls :server "chat.freenode.net" :port 6697 :nick "girzel" :password "password")) (eval-after-load "erc" '(require 'erc-dcc)) And I don't even use the dcc stuff.
