Description: XMPP gateway to connect to IRC servers
- This package translates between XMPP and IRC protocols. It can be used to
- connect to IRC channels using any XMPP client as if these channels were XMPP
- MUCs.
+ Biboumi is an XMPP gateway that connects to IRC servers and translates
+ between the two protocols. It can be used to access IRC channels using
+ any XMPP client as if these channels were XMPP MUCs.
.
- The goal is to provide a way to access most of IRC features using any XMPP
- client. It doesn’t however try to provide a complete mapping of the features of
- both worlds simply because this is not useful and most probably impossible.
+ It is written in modern C++14 and makes great efforts to have as little
+ dependencies and to be as simple as possible.
.
- If IRC is the limiting factor then biboumi doesn’t try to work around this
- issue. An important goal of the tool is to keep the software light and simple. \ No newline at end of file
+ The goal is to provide a way to access most of IRC features using any
+ XMPP client. It doesn’t however try to provide a complete mapping of
+ the features of both worlds simply because this is not useful and most
+ probably impossible. For example all IRC modes are not all
+ translatable into an XMPP features. Some of them are (like +m (mute)
+ or +o (operator) modes), but some others are IRC-specific. If IRC is
+ the limiting factor (for example you cannot have a non-ASCII nickname
+ on IRC) then biboumi doesn’t try to work around this issue: it just
+ enforces the rules of the IRC server by telling the user that he/she
+ must choose an ASCII-only nickname. An important goal is to keep the
+ software (and its code) light and simple.
