Registration Details


  • Name: lurker IRC project
  • System Name:  lurker
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU Lesser General Public License





Description:

lurker is yet another IRC bot.  Aside from sentimental value, the development aims to create one of the few non-intrusive yet still useful IRC automata.  To accomplish this, lurker is near-silent unless directly addressed by initial '!' characters in lines; additionally, all queries also function in private queries, removing the need for channel clutter.  lurker uses simple databases to enable deep web scraping.  In the future, lurker will grow semi-automatic channel management capability, and may also evolve into a NickServ implementation as well.

lurker was originally written in python, partially as an experiment to learn python, and it shows.  His code is inefficient, sloppy, and in need of a rewrite.  Writing in python made sense at the time, but the current codebase is too slow to scale well.  To that end, a complete rewrite in Common Lisp is planned, which will have the advantage of (hopefully) adding in SSL support.


Other Software Required:

lurker is currently dependent on:

  • python: python.org, Python Software Foundation License
  • python irc library: python-irclib.sourceforge.net, GPL


In the future, lurker will be dependent on neither of those things, and instead:

  • clisp: www.clisp.org, GPL
  • CL+SSL: common-lisp.net/project/cl-plus-ssl, MIT-style ( gitorious.org/cl-plus-ssl/cl-plus-ssl/blobs/master/LICENSE )
  • CL-IRC: common-lisp.net/project/cl-irc, MIT-style (see link on same page)
