My requirements are that there _already_ is a database with groups and users
belonging to one or more of those groups (analogous to, for example, Sourceforge 
developers and development teams).

The idea is to provide chat service for these groups. A chat session can be 
private (only group members or invited guests) or public.

Now honestly, I just started looking into possible solutions to this, I don't
know if ircd is the way to go.
