Free irc chat program software for linux

XHR Chat is a demonstration type chat script I wrote when experimenting with xmlHttpRequest. It never refreshes, keeps an infinite post log, and checks for new posts once a second.

XHR Chat will degrade gracefully if the browser doesnt support xmlHttpRequest, just so long it still has javascript enabled.

Campus Chat Server project is a chat server intended for use in the Cadiz University campus network.
Enhancements:
- hash_maps are now used instead of maps, so the cost of lookup or insertion is O(1) in the average case, instead of O(logn).

IoChatto is a chat client which you can use in the JXTA platform.

Its interface is similar to many IRC chat clients, but you can have presence information for every channel, and its design is fully decentralized.

IRC-Chess project is a 2-player chess game for IRC which turns a computer into an IRC chess bot.

It consists of a Java chess server, with frontend scripts to convert an IRC client into a chess bot. Players then communicate with the bot using standard IRC commands, and dont require any special software to play.

Frontend scripts are available for IRSSI and X-Chat.

The client is merely responsible for interpreting this data and displaying it. In this way, porting the system to a variety of IRC clients is very simple, since
the client script will be short, and effectively contain no code specific to the game being played.

In other words, the Java part is smart. The script is dumb and is just there to make things look pretty.

This idea works. Currently, client scripts have been designed for RSSI and XChat. Since both these programs use Perl for scripting, the scripts are practically identical, with a few client specific modifications.

Porting this script to other IRC clients shouldnt be too much of a hassle, since its just the frontend thats ported, not the chess game itself. Anyone wanting to create frontend scripts for other IRC clients, please feel free to do so.

The PROTOCOL file describes exactly what needs to be done.

The UbuntuLiveChatSupport aims to provide an interface to communicate to other ubuntu users with the same language & location, as well as to connect to the official ubuntu channel in Freenode.org. Ubuntu Live Chat Support also aims to get live chat support from ubuntu users right into the desktop menu, via "System > Help > Live Chat Support".
Rationale
People who dont speak english and want local support in their language will face a challenge to gain help in existing documentations, specially when there are just a few documentations for their language. But if they speak to someone that can understand their language, they can talk to an experienced user to provide them with answers. It might as well be positive, because there might be a good chance that they will collaborate on translation of documentations and software for their language, as well as contributing to the Ubuntu work.
Another problem with the current way of getting help in Ubuntu requires the user to read and browse documentations, but what most users really want is getting the right answers to the questions straight. Browsing and reading documentations sometimes require one to research on a particular problem. But to get the right answer from an experience user is the most easiest way.
Scope
This will use Gaim as an IRC client, but will not alter the main Gaim configurations. It will add the IRC channels defined in InternetRelayChat in Gaim buddy list, namely, Localized Channels, Support Channels, and Team Collaboration Channels.
Enhancements:
- Change the name "Auto-Join Default" to "Default"
- Overhaul the Local Channel names
- A new channel will be autojoined based on language.
- Added the language to "Local Languages" group
- Change the name of "Local Ubuntu Channels" to "Local Channels"
- UI improvements, in Nick registration, add a "Passwords do not match" warning.
- Impliment a settings in login page to choose from 2 different layout, the default top channels tab and alternative left channels tab. The static xchat-gnome look is removed.
- Add a new checkbox for privacy, when registration.
- Impliment registration privacy when the checkbox is toggled.

IRCBotNET is a Botnet. It is a network of IRC bots that communicate with one another. They share a means of communication whereby all bots speak to one another and exchange information. They are useful for keeping and maintaining a channel by acting as a group of channel bots that work together with a common goal.

Say, for instance, you have one IRC bot keeping a channel and a netsplit occurs or the bot dies for some reason. Immediately the channel becomes chaotic and anarchic without an IRC bot keeping the peace. With a Botnet, even if an IRC bot dies, here still remains the rest of the bots on the Botnet to continue maintaining the channel and the loss of the one bot means nothing as the other bots do its exact same job.

BotNET is an extremely powerful IRC BOT and has many features.
BotNET doesnt necessarily have to run as a Botnet, it can run as a normal IRC bot and in fact does this by default. It has a massive collection of functions that can be seen in the BotNET man pages. When run as a Botnet, BotNET has supreme capabilities that have never been attempted before in Botnets. When a BotNET bot is run in Botnet mode, it connects to a BotNET Communication Stream Server (botserv) that is included in this package.

It uses this server to communicate with the other bots on the Botnet. The difference here is that not only can it do whatever any other Botnet can do, but it also uses this stream of communication with its added IRC Stand-alone bot functionality. For instance, if you add a user to the bot, immediately, all other bots connected to the database add this user to their local databases and a global-wide Botnet database is maintained. So you can use any one of the bots on the Botnets for anything that you so desire. This powerful feature makes BotNET very predominant over other Botnets.
