We have both already :) https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/bots/jabber_mirror.py https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/bots/jabber_mirro... https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/bots/irc-mirror.py https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/bots/irc-mirror.p... In addition to Zephyr mirroring, which we've had since 2012.

  Thanks :) To dive a bit deeper, while XMPP/IRC exists, and it wouldn't be hard to make the Zulip server natively speak XMPP to clients, that in-and-of-itself wouldn't be quite useful. A message sent to stream "ops" with topic "prod deploy" might look like this†: <message from='coven@chat.shakespeare.lit/ops' id='162BEBB1-F6DB-4D9A-9BD8-CFDCC801A0B2' to='hecate@shakespeare.lit/broom' type='groupchat'> <subject>prod deploy</subject> <body>Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.</body> <delay xmlns='urn:xmpp:delay' from='coven@chat.shakespeare.lit' stamp='2002-10-13T23:58:37Z'/> <addresses xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/address'> <address type='ofrom' jid='crone1@shakespeare.lit/desktop'/> </addresses> </message> But there aren't any existing clients that have the UI to: 1. Show per-message subjects/topics in a meaningful way 2. Allow users to easily reply to a message preserving the subject So we'd need client changes to make it truly useful. †: Adapted from syntax specified in XEP-0045
