There are mirroring ways yeah. That would be a better solution.

Because there is biboumi but it basically just creates an IRC room in XMPP.


Also sneek should filter stuff probably. Because xmpp allows pictures 
and long messages and such.

So it shouldn't mirror everything as is. I don't know how possible it is 
though. Maybe some custom setup of something.


That said I do have my doubts whether this is more trouble than its 
worth personally.

Given that IRC and XMPP are two very different protocols that are 
probably gonna attract a different community.
