+So you want to use IRC from Barnowl? Excellent!
+
+From the command line,
+  mkdir -p ~.owl/modules
+  cd ~/.owl/modules
+  git archive --remote=git://barnowl.mit.edu/barnowl --prefix=IRC/ HEAD:perl/modules/IRC | tar x
+
+From Barnowl,
+  :reload-module IRC
+
+Then you can use barnowl commands such as
+  :irc-connnect irc.freenode.net
+  :irc-join #barnowl
+  :irc-msg #barnowl
+     ----> /msg -a freenode #barnowl
+     Hi everyone! I'm trying out IRC on barnowl!
+
+The usual message commands such as "r", "R", "i", etc. should work. If you want
+to see the IRC commands and variables, use :show commands and :show variables
+and look for the ones starting with "irc-" and "irc:". In general, the command
+/foo in a traditional IRC client is :irc-foo in barnowl.
+
+:set irc:spew if you want a bunch of admin messages when you get unhandled IRC
+events from the server. Not many of these are still useful, but if a command is
+supposed to get you output and you don't see it, this is something to try.
+
+Ask geofft or -c barnowl if you have questions about getting it working.
+
+Add yourself to the barnowl-irc-users mailing list if you want an e-mail when I
+add features and you should re-export the git archive.
