Quassel IRC http://quassel-irc.org/about
Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client based on the Qt4 framework.
Distributed means that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core that stays permanently online -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, and similar to (but much more featureful than) so-called BNCs.
