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.
