+long_desc="
+Irssi is a modular IRC client that currently has only text mode user
+interface, but 80-90% of the code isn't text mode specific, so other UIs
+could be created pretty easily. Also, Irssi isn't really even IRC specific
+anymore, there's already a working SILC module available. Support for other
+protocols like ICQ could be created some day too."
