So the intention with hubs is that it would have a web based chat interface that would use IRC. So if you prefer your old IRC client, keep using it; if you're a newbie and not familiar with IRC and want to communicate with Fedora folks, use Hubs chat (which is actually just the same IRC channels under the covers.)
Is there a plan for dealing with IRC nicks and the Hubs chat?
There's an IRC nick field in FAS. My thoughts were by default for new users we'll prepopulate it with their FAS account name; if you've a preexisting account put in whatever your usual IRC nick is. If you use hubs as an IRC client, use the nick from FAS. If there's a nick collision / somebody's already registered it, I don't know that it would be so difficult to detect that and prompt the user to pick another one.
Was that the concern or is there something I'm missing?
