Last-spoke tracking can easily be added with the mode-support I recently
added.

Last-seen is more cumbersome, since it requires a (theoretically unbounded)
list of nicks having been in a channel: depending on what you want to
remember for each nick, that can become quite some data. Currently 'user'
objects disappear when the user quits or leaves the last channel, limiting
the list of users-in-memory to all active users...


As far as documentation is concerned: I'm quite busy too, but I'll see what
I can do.

bye,


Erik.
