Development Team

DareNET's development team is dedicated to maintaining the software that's running on the IRC network and its web properties, which includes IRC server daemons, IRC services, a webchat client and the DareNET website. The team can be reached via email at dev@darenet.org or in #dev on the network.

Projects

The development team is responsible for developing and maintaining the following projects:

ircd-darenet

Current version: 2.0.5

ircd-darenet is a fork of Undernet's ircu (u2.10.12 branch), and also contains various code from Quakenet's snircd patchset.

evo

Current version: 1.0.0

Evo, which is a fork of srvx, was developed to replace services-darenet (which was forked from X3, itself a fork of an older srvx code base).

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!).

webchat-darenet

webchat-darenet is simply the code name we've given to our series of patches for the popular qwebirc client, most of which have now been incorporated upstream. Those which haven't can also be found here. Much thanks to Chris Porter (slug) for developing this great client, and freely releasing it.

website-darenet

The current site was built using some great technologies, which include:

• PHP & CakePHP
• Python
• QServer (an external interface to services-darenet)
• MySQL & PyMySQL
• Redis, Predis & redis-py
• jQuery
• Nginx
• OpenSSL & pyOpenSSL

FAQ

Where can I download projects?

Most of our patches to qwebirc can be found [https://bitbucket.org/secretagent/qwebirc here).

While we do plan to eventually release ircd-darenet and services-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:

• Charybdis
• snircd
• Nefarious ircu
• srvx
• Atheme IRC Services
• X3
• newserv

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.
