As time has gone on, I've started seeing the "Slack" chat platform become more and more popular.  I see this as both a good thing, in that it promotes communication within teams, and a bad thing, in that it's not controlled by the company that actually subscribes to it, and it isn't free software.  Because of the benefit, and as a response to the issues, I've decided to build this application, "Meeting of the Minds", built on standards and free software so it's likely to stay around for a long time.  Thus, the goal is to produce an application that gives the following features:

 - Archival
 - Group Messaging
 - Easily Defined Groups
 - User-to-user Messaging
 - Simple Management
 - Freedom

To accomplish this task, I've decided to build using the following tools and suites:

 - IRC :: The Internet Relay Chat protocol.  I've chosen this as the transport protocol as it's been around for quite some time, and is well supported.
 - PostgreSQL :: An SQL storage backend.  This will be a way to store metadata about conversations, topics, users and projects, allowing for data archival.  I've chosen PostgreSQL as it has many advanced features and is very space efficient.
 - Common Lisp :: The server implementation language.  I've chosen to use Common Lisp to implement Meeting of the Minds for the following reasons:
   - Familiarity
   - Flexibility
   - Library availability
