IRCd:Main

This portion of the wiki is intended to help document DareNET's ircd, ircd-darenet, which is based on ircu, explaining why things are done the way they are. In addition to documenting the existing server and how it does things, we also hope to equip and inspire new coders/developers.

Documentation is traditionally the weakest part of any ircd project. The coders that have worked on such projects in the past have often omitted comments. The documentation that does exist either documents the API via Doxygen-style documentation comments, or consists of a large number of partially unreleated documents stored in the "doc" subtree of the source code. Further, anytime someone asks for more documentation, those coders traditionally respond, "look at the source."
