+#summary IRC to XMPP interface to allow IRC clients to connect to chatrooms
+#labels Stage-Alpha, Deprecated
+
+*NOTE: Consider this module currently more of a fun experiment than a serious project for use in production. Note the 'alpha' tag and have fun!*
+
+= Introduction =
+
+Whether you like it or not, XMPP is the future, but that pesky IRC just won't go away :)
+
+With this module you can set up a special host on your server to allow connections from IRC clients and bots. They are able to join XMPP chatrooms on a specified conference server.
+
+= Usage =
+In your config file put something similar to the following:
+
+{{{
+Component "irc2muc.example.com" "ircd"
+    conference_server = "conference.example.com" -- required
+    listener_port = 7000
+}}}
+
+If you don't want your IRC users to have connectivity outside your server then there is no need for the hostnames you specify to be valid DNS entries.
+
+= Warning =
+
+The plugin stability, and/or serving compatibility with most of the IRC clients is yet to be determined.
+
+= Install =
+
+This release requires the [http://code.matthewwild.co.uk/verse/ Verse client library] as dependancy and [http://code.matthewwild.co.uk/squish/ Squish] to meld it with the plugin.
+
+Instructions (temporarily changed):
+ * Clone the Squish repo and/or download the latest tip from it (in that case you'll have to decompress the tip zip/tarball)
+ * In your Squish directory type make install
+ * Back into your mod_ircd directory call squish with --verse=./verse/verse.lua
+ * Move the mod_ircd.lua file to your prosody's plugins directory
+
+= Compatibility =
+||0.8||Works||
+||0.7||Uncertain||
+||0.6||Doesn't work||
+
+= Todo =
+  * Authentication
+  * SSL
+  * Many improvements to handling of IRC and XMPP
