Idea #16696: Quassel IRC on Kubuntu 9.04

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 3 May 09. Available starting Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.
Written by Tabris the 21 Dec 08 at 03:31. Category: Internet & Networking. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: Implemented
Rationale
In the realease notes of Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha 2 we can read:

"No IRC client on the CD - Due to space constraints the plan is to have no KDE3 applications on the CD by release. We are currently evaluating alternatives to Konversation since a KDE4 port of Konversation is not expected to be ready for Jaunty)"

So, Quassel IRC is an excellent Qt4 IRC Client, why don't use it?

Developer comments
Kubuntu developers are working with Quassel developers to see if it can be a suitable default IRC client for Jaunty. I uploaded a git snapshot with the KDE integration enabled to Jaunty today (10 Jan 09).

Also there is no need to make a bunch of comments on the blueprint. The best thing you can do to help make this idea a reality is test and file bugs.
