About
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
Rosella is a small ircd (Internet Relay Chat Daemon).
|
|
|
|
|
It partially implements RFC2812, but will never be fully compliant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rosella is intended to provide a portable, light-weight, near-zero-conf
|
|
|
|
|
ircd capable of handling many simultaneous connections, whilst providing
|
|
|
|
|
as much privacy for its users as possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rosella is *not* production ready, or recommended for large-scale usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An x.509 key and certificate are required to open a TLS listener.
|
|
|
|
|
Proper key handling and certificate checking is the responsibility of the
|
|
|
|
|
users. Rosella cannot protect you from stupidity or untrustworthy CA's.

Design Principles
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Rosella will not spy upon its users, or log them in any way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Rosella will not communicate with any users in plaintext.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Rosella will not provide any mechanism for identifying other users beyond
|
|
|
|
|
their nicknames.

* Rosella's source code will be kept as easy to understand as possible.
