Didn't seanw write some system for exactly that, or is it broken for ages?
Sean and a couple of others did write one which was used for a couple years. It has been broken since July due to some changes to the toolserver (I believe).
I wrote one years ago that was very simple, and then Martin and Kalan wrote a replacement that was a lot more useful. Then that one broke, and Kalan and Martin's availability took a hit due to them both starting university, so it hasn't been fixed. In any case Kalan was planning to rewrite at least the web-based bit.
The two portions were written separately (web and IRC), and the IRC part still works - however naturally it is useless without a web portion. The source for the IRC part is available.
I think the specification/request for coders can be considered to be for the production of the web interface, with the IRC part as an aside - if it can be re-written, great. If not, we do have a functional model at the moment.
Sadly while both myself and Sean have access to the stable server and hence the code, both of us lack the knowledge and ability to fix it.
