Detailed specification

For a while now, Xchat hasn't been actively developed so I'm proposing we switch to the fork that seems quite active.

Pros:

  • Activly Developed.
  • Already has more features, such as built-in SASL support.
  • In the default repositories.

Cons:

  • Have to edit the seed.

Question: Can we set it so that the default channel is #xubuntu for us?

Answer: Not really, not using the same repo as Ubuntu. It doesn't autojoin you to #ubuntu, it'll only recommend that channel when you connect to Freenode.
