Note that the two things IRC really needs, end to end encryption and authentication, are not even on the list of "improvements" these people are working on.
Is there a forum where it is appropriate to discuss such improvements?
Since no one has yet mentioned it, Ryan Lackey once mentioned a secure chat program.. Zephyr? Gale? (the name was related to some other existing, insecure chat program) I don't see why a secure text-chat program would be any different than PGPfone (using DH, not RSA). Maybe easier i/o, tougher authentication since PGPfone uses human voice recog in part.
