It can be used to access IRC channels using any +XMPP client as if these channels were XMPP MUCs. + +It is written in modern C++11 and make great efforts to have as little +dependencies and to be as simple as possible. + +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 theme 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 nickname only. An +important goal is to keep the software (and its code) light and simple. + +================ + Install +================ +Refer to the INSTALL file. + +================ + Authors +================ +Florent Le Coz (louiz’) + +================= + Contact/Support +================= +Jabber ChatRoom: biboumi@muc.poezio.eu +Report a bug: http://dev.louiz.org/projects/biboumi/issues/new + +================= + License +================= +Biboumi is Free Software. +(learn more: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) + +Biboumi is released under the zlib license. +Please read the COPYING file for details. -- cgit v1.2.3
