Hi Aznidin,
i'm currently working on a web/wap gateway for p10 of ircu - it's not that
much work if you just code a leaf ircd server and connect it to a standard
ircu hub.
doing a leaf ircd for p10 of ircu is not that hard. the guys here did a very
good work in integrating the numerics and the tokenization. i just do not
understand why they didn't used standard base64 characters (+/- instead of
]/[) used in http protocol...)
i've had a look on a lot of ircd implementations - this one is simply the
best!
Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
