[DONE]. Needs polish on the way still.

I am waiting ;-)

Attached.

I am thinking about writing a bot for IRC with 
http://www.jibble.org/pircbot.php which should not only allow us to track and 
log discussions, but also let them show up in Crossforum and make IRC usage 
for other projects a breeze. We need a bot anyway...

About the Mapper:

I have thought about it and since scoping is done via the Mappers it might be 
nice to have several mappers to scope either with AND or with OR. Since we 
don't want to blow the UI we could lay one main Mapper in the background and 
make the others sth. like Widgets on top of it. (e.g. Text search/scope, Time 
scope, Geographical scope, ...)

Cheers,
