zenirc has an experimental package

There are no keybindings for common IRC commands, like joining channels, etc. I've been using the "irchat" program for a while (this is another IRC package for Emacs) and it seems to be a lot more full-featured. If we're going to supply an IRC client for XEmacs, I think "irchat" might be a better choice. Irchat gives you a split window for commands and the channel dialog, it has keybindings for common actions; I think I like it better than "zenirc" (just my opinion). I need to play with Zenirc a little more, maybe I'm missing something... I am often on the Undernet (servers are less crowded that EFnet servers) and am sitting in the #XEmacs channel, however I am there all alone. On EFnet there are two folks in #xemacs who already have operator privileges for the channel, but I don't recognize them from the maillist. If we're going to start an IRC channel we ought to do it on the Undernet - for instance, this is where the good #linux channel is; the EFnet #linux channel tends to be a zoo. Undernet servers all have geographically descriptive hostnames like "phoenix.az.us.undernet.org", it's pretty easy to find one near you. Right now, I'm holding onto the operator privileges for the Undernet #xemacs channel, maybe I'll see some of you there.
