this search engine monitors 3,649 IRC networks, IRC channels, more active IRC users, and of course, over 5,000 pages of information on IRC networks, their services, and their servers!
Aggregation of pertinent information for IRC client and server developers, although it does also hold important information to writers of scripts for various IRC clients.
Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical. In addition to this uniqe feature, we aim to bring a pleasurable, comfortable chatting experience to all major platforms (including Linux®, Windows®, and MacOS X® as well as Qtopia-based cell phones and PDAs), making communication with your peers not only convenient, but also ubiquitous available.
And the best of all: It's free - as in beer and as in speech, since we distribute Quassel under the GPL, and you are welcome to download and see for yourself!
