so can it interoperate with irc if you want it to?
That feature is either complete, or coming. See Laconica's official Trac at http://laconi.ca/trac/ for bugs and features. I installed 0.6.4 from http://laconi.ca/trac/wiki/Laconica_0.6.4 without any modifications. I have half a mind though to tweak something or apply a patch from one of the most recent developlent builds, to see how the "source link" thing detects it and provides it's AGPL-obligated source download for all the users.

Do you need a Laconica acct before you sign up with the Kclug server?
Nope. You just fill in what nickname you want (you can change later) what password, an email address, and I think that's all that's required. It will send a confirmation email, but I was able to make my first post without clicking it's enclosed verification link, so it's either very lax, or I just didn't turn that part on. The signup page is http://laconica.kclug.com/main/register and it's really, really, quick compared to a lot of services. I suppose long term it will have to ask if you're 13 or older to comply with COPA, but the Laconica developers probably haven't thought of that yet.
