Tutorials like this can certainly help attract new people and get them
started.
Perhaps pick a more inspiring hunk of IRC dialogue to use as an example,
so as not to demotivate with the impression that IRC is futile?
And if you're going to use real-world IRC dialogue for this tutorial
and/or other purposes, I suspect you want to anonymize it, lest your
human subjects board gets all up in your business. (Although that
"neilv" fellow is strikingly handsome.)
BTW, I suspect someone will find this in Google when they're trying to
talk with an IRC server from Racket, and be disappointed that this is
only about parsing a particular log format. I think that there is some
IRC client code for Racket, not necessarily released. I think I've seen
a Racket-based bot online, perhaps by Eli. And I wrote an (unreleased)
IRC bot in Scheme in 2001, which supported DCC transfers and corrected
people's spelling. So that Googling person should ask around when the
time comes.
