Coding - MSN vs IRC Gateway

What is this project about?

MSNServer is a project, written in PHP, attempting to create a bridge between MSN and IRC. Ok, some of you folks might have heard about the BittlBee project. This one enables users with an irc client to connect to a server and maintain the parts the msn messenger performs through IRC.

Our project is completly different from that, we want to enable MSN users to be able to connect to IRC and chat with people there in a channel or have a private conversation.

How does this work?

It works like this:
The daemon connects as IRC Server to the network, and also authenticates to the MSN network using the MSNP9 protocol.
A MSN user adds a specific address to his/her contact list and automatically gets accepted by the system. From there, everytime the user is online on MSN, he will also be online on the irc network.

From there, the user gets brief information about how the system works.
