* [[Activities/IRC]] is built around an all-Python IRC client, [http://urk.sourceforge.net/ Urk] which is no longer maintained since 2007. Thus, its better to port the activity to a newer and a better all-python IRC library.
+
* [[Activities/IRC]] is significantly slower than other IRC clients available on other platforms. The reason being its not multi-threaded. Thus, adding multi-threading support will be very useful.
+
* [[Activities/IRC]] is missing some useful features including sound on highlight (play a sound when the user is highlighted in a channel), user info (whois data) and many others. Look at some popular IRC clients running on other platforms and research about the features which can be added to [[Activities/IRC]] and how can they be added.
