I was working pretty hard on OrtzIRC (compared to other projects). I discovered the awesomeness of the class diagram system and I was getting a lot of the classes laid out. Then some guys in IRC were talking about IRC fameworks and someone mentioned Thresher.
After looking at Thresher’s code I realized I was completely reinventing the wheel and that my own backend would probably end up looking a lot like it. So I decided to use Thresher for my IRC connecting and stuff, although I will probably make a lot of changes to make it do the things I want it to. Right now it doesn’t do things like keep track of channel info, it looks like it’s mostly event-based, like for bots. It just passes around channel names as strings. Needs moar OO.
So now I can concentrate a little more on scripting, which is where I believe OrtzIRC’s power will lie.
