IRC Notify is an extension wrote by Quentin Kaiser to replace the UDP notification mechanism by an ad-hoc IRC connection, notification and disconnection scheme.

Drawbacks

• Slows down a lot the modification time, as the IRC events aren't async.
• Not adapted to any other scenario than ONE modification per interval of time, as each modification implies a new connection.
