There actually already is a CGI:IRC proxy that can connect to freenode: ircatwork.com. It's down occasionally, but it usually works enough to be usable.

The problem with this one is that it requires Java, has said security warning and also doesn't work round restrictive firewalls, which the CGI version would avoid :-)
Thanks,

Sorry this gets out a bit late, but the current Java-based client could do this without problems. Currently it's restricted to #wikipedia-en-help (default), #wikipedia and #wikipedia-en to avoid scaring away all the new users unfamiliar with IRC, but I could expand the list of channels if anyone would like me to. The only major problem that it throws out a security warning the first time you use it, which cannot be avoided. I could register and get a popup listing me as the owner of the certificate, but the best thing would probably be if someone from Wikimedia could do it, as we'd be able to have a Wikimedia certificate that could be used on other projects if needed. See http://forum.pjirc.com/viewtopic.php?t=723 for info.

Similar - the only proper difference (aside from making it look nicer ;)) will be that it will only have Wikimedia channels where his has places like ##philosophy. It'd be good if a ts admin could weigh in on this :-)
please don't do this for the moment. i'm inclined not to allow it, but i'll give it a bit more thought.
