[edit] Cleanup

I've cleaned up the article somewhat. I hope it's still useful. Some of the comparisons with other IRC clients seemed a bit biased, based on personal opinion and not really verifiable, so I've removed those parts. --ozzmosis 15:54, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I removed the section about the backdoor from the article because it didn't seem important enough to have its own section. I still left a link to the relevant page at the bottom of the article. I also fixed some random grammatical stuff, and broke the links section into categories, since it was getting kind of long. I also cleaned up this talk page. --Rhythmthing 03:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name Origin

The edit that removed this just caught my eye:

The name "Irssi" comes from Finnish internet slang meaning "IRC", and should be pronounced "ihr-see".

Nowadays when Irssi is well enough known, irssi means only the client. Back when Irssi didn't yet exist, Finnish people sometimes called IRC "irssi". Like normally ircci -> irkki, but since "c" can in some words be also pronounced as "s", some people thought it's funny or whatever to call ircci -> irssi. Anyway, since nowadays I don't think anyone calls IRC irssi anymore (since it'd just be ambiguous), the sentence could use a little editing if it's ever added back.. --Irssi's original author

This may be the case, but surely derivative terms such as irssata 'to chat on IRC' are still, at least in my experience, platform or client independent concepts. --Zet (talk) 23:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I redirected MacIrssi to Irssi, because though it is rather too unknown for a whole article, a redirect would be more efficient. [wossi] 21:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification Request

The section about running irssi in windows is unclear. The section in parentheses can be read as affecting either the windows-native install, the cygwin install, or both. Which is it? Please make that part more clear, and break it out of the parentheses. MrZaiustalk 04:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. --Rhythmthing 03:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

I have removed the logo since it is a red link. [wossi] 21:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I reinserted the logo...maybe it's about time? Rhythmthing 03:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
