As well we could offer a RSS Feed with the newest updates and another
one with special notifications.
Then we could subscribe by default the feeds in firefox or another RSS
client of your choice.
This would be easier than an application or flooding the freenode irc
with unused registered accounts.
Just my 2cents.
