Rosella ======= 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 will not allow any user to spy upon any other user. * Rosella's source code will be kept as easy to understand as possible. Contributing ------------ Patches and pull requests for new features and code clean ups are welcome as long as they follow the design principles.
