It'd be cool to have a relay between matrix and the IRC channel I think. This post is for discussion of the idea.
If you don't know what matrix is:
https://matrix.org
This would probably be the easiest thing to use to write it, because JS:
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk
Also, Sorunome tells me that if it was written in python it could plug in to omnomirc, so this might be relevant too:
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-python-sdk
It'd be cooler to bridge the entirety of efnet, but I don't feel like trying to get the OK from the efnet server operators to do that. A simple 1-channel relay would fit with what we're already doing in the CW channel.
I'd say Discord, but that could work.
As long as it doesn't involve splitting discussion away from #codewalrus then I am ok with it. We already have the Telegram and WalrusIRC bridges, but if Matrix is popular enough then that would definitively be a nice addition.
