Maybe you guys could come up with ideas, how to implement, how to moderate, etc.? That may help him a bit.

Well, we can borrow server code from Freenode.net (
http://source.freenode.net/~asuffield/dancer/). PJIRC is also open source, which is found at
http://www.pjirc.com/downloads.php?p=0&c=4&downid=121.
My thought is make a page with the applet on it. There is a link to it on the quicklinks menu (which opens it in a new window). The User's UserName is used as the IRC name.
You can also seperate out conversations in channels, so the group talking about the default code isn't hearing about the new 3dsmax stuff. (and vice versa)
One drawback is that when ever I open a java applet in IE, it just closes.
I can make you a basic page if you want (granted, w/o the CD styling)
