ircd-darenet
ircd-darenet is based on nefarious ircu, from the lovely people on the evilnet development team. We decided rather than always downloading and modifying the source everytime a new version of nef+ircu was released, to instead fork and maintain our branch. The amount of changes already made are quite significant. Such changes include the addition of a spam bot detection system, a refined operator privileges system, numerous backend enhancements (much of the code has been refactored), new channel/user modes and tweaks to existing modes, and much more.
services-darenet
services-darenet is currently based on srvx and x3.
webchat-darenet
Just when you thought this project had died...
We have been following qwebirc's development for quite sometime now, and had always planned on working on a DareNET-specific port of it once its first public release rolled around (btw, thanks again 'slug' for releasing it). And, now that summer is here, we have time to do just that, once again. So stay tuned, as we have some interesting things planned for webchat-darenet.
website-darenet
Development of PHP sites without a preconceived plan to manage them is asking for a headache. The goal of a framework is to make the process of writing web-based applications easier. While there are already several PHP frameworks out there, none of them really provide everything DareNET's next generation web site will require; therefore, we have started working on our own, custom framework. More information can be found here.
The current site is built upon the Joomla framework, and boosts a wide variety of custom modules and applications. It is integrated with our IRC network, which presently allows individuals to register a NickServ (DareNET) account, which can then be used on IRC, to build user profiles, post to the forums, create social groups and much more.
The site is programmed in PHP and uses MySQL as it's database backend.
FAQ
Where can I download your projects?
While we do plan to eventually release our projects someday, your patience is required until it happens.
What Development Environment Does DareNET Use?
ircd-darenet is developed mostly in the C programming language, while services-darenet is developed in both C and Python. The source code is targeted at most of the popular Unix platforms.
Most developers run a Unix-like operating system and use an open source tool chain with GCC, GNU Make, GDB, Autoconf, and so on. If you have contributed to open source software before, you will probably be familiar with these tools.
The complete list of required software to build ircd-darenet and services-darenet can be found in their respective installation instructions.
How Do I Get Involved With DareNET Development?
If you are interested in contributing to DareNET's various development projects (e.g. ircd-darenet, services-darenet, web development, etc) please send an e-mail to dev@darenet.org. If you are involved with other projects, please note this in your e-mail and possibly provide links to their project pages.
