+Slack has been designed as a team chat software.  While it once was implemented on top of IRC, it appears to not be anymore.  However, for the specific area that the app targets, IRC seems like a logical choice as a base for a communications protocol.  As such, I'll have to leverage various parts of IRC, including the following:
