Potential addition to contributor page?

[David Tenser]

As a part of making the contributor home page more dynamic and
interesting for contributor, I thought of one thing that would be pretty
cool to do if possible:

How about an iframe on the contributor home page that automatically logs
in to irc.mozilla.com/#sumo using mibbit.com? The benefits/purposes I
can identify are:

* To showcase the dynamic aspect of the SUMO community
* To encourage people to take part of the discussions going on
* To lower the technical barrier for people to participate on IRC

Ideally, it would only be a small iframe showing e.g. 5-10 lines. There
could then be a popout button below it that would open the chat channel
in a new window or tab. So basically, the iframe would just be an small
"preview" of what's going on in the channel.

If it can be done, sure. The only potential issues:
* profanity
* OT discussion

Both don't seem to be a problem on #sumo.
