- /summon is a neat idea, but given the current "mission" (out of lack of
- a better word) of IRC, and availible alternatives, I really isn't essential.
- I'd like to see IRC coders work on other problems or features (cf. ircd-three
- mailing list) before messing around with /summon.
-
- However, if IRC is to become the "new talk(1)" of the net, as I understand
- the original IRC.writer(s) in Finland intended, then /summon ought to
- be worked out, if only to have something analagous to a "talk request" --
- an IRC summons. (oooh! Sounds ominous! :)
