Comment 3 for bug 1688178

Using kiwiIRC (https://kiwiirc.com/) as our website widget, as you mentioned on irc, should be considered.

Some thoughts:
- kiwiIRC does not protect bots from joining the irc network. The widget we use does this automatically by using the google re-captcha-v2.

- The main reason to make IRC chatting possible on our site is just a try to get users in realtime contact with the community/developers in an easy way without much knowledge of IRC.

Other ideas:
In the page showing the chat, we could add an additional link to a wiki page containing additional information to IRC in general and links to clients. E.g. adding a link to Quassel.
