How to handle alias-less channels?
Opened this issue · 2 comments
At first blush, I guess it seems pragmatic to just wait for initial sync to finish, then talk to the IRC client using the raw channel IDs.
If a channel picks up an alias at some point in the future, how do we make renaming a channel like that not suck?

@richvdh: i'm totally failing to find the spec you wrote on human readable naming rules for channels (when you were working on pidgin) - any idea where it went?
