Development Team

Revision as of 19:59, 20 June 2014

DareNET's development team is dedicated to actively maintaining and developing the software that's running the network. The team can be reached via email at dev@darenet.org or in #dev.

Development Projects

DareNET currently develops the following projects:

ircd-darenet

Current version: 2.0.5

ircd-darenet 2.x is a fork of the Undernet Universal IRC daemon (u2.10.12 branch), also known as ircu, and contains various code from Quakenet's snircd patchset. Some of DareNET's patches include SSL encryption (both server<>server and server<>client), persistent channels, partial IRCv3 support, fakehosts and remote server and user management.

evo

Current version: 1.0.0

Evo is our account and channel management services running on DareNET, which was forked from GameSurge's srvx services. Some of DareNET's patches include channel quotes, title management (HostServ), stronger password hashing, additional channel and user management options, web integration and more.

lua-mafia

DareNET's implementation of the widely popular Mafia parlor game. You can play in #Mafia. You'll need a registered account, which you can get here (don't worry, it's free!).

FAQ

Where can I download projects?

Most of our patches to qwebirc have been incorporated upstream.

Our other projects, including those listed on this page, are highly customized to our network and so publishing them would not make much sense. While we may eventually release ircd-darenet, your patience is required until it happens. In the mean time, we recommend taking at look at the following projects (in no particular order), for IRC daemons and services with comparable feature sets:

I found a bug, where can I report it?

Please send any bug reports to dev@darenet.org. We can also be reached in #dev on the network.

How do I get involved with DareNET Development?

If you're interested in contributing to one of DareNET's projects, whether it be with actual development or improving documentation, drop us a line at dev@darenet.org. If you have a GitHub, Bitbucket, Sourceforge, etc. profile, feel free to include links to those as well.
