The mission statement for this Open Source project is:
“Providing solutions to archive, query and analyze IRC logfiles.”
My idea of “solutions” is twofold; On one hand, I should create software so users can archive, query and analyze IRC logfiles themselves. On the other hand, I should setup a service that provides the same functionality to users that don’t have the time or know how to install and configure the software.
At the time of writing, the software itself is not mature enough to actually start working on such a service. But, I can ponder about it from time to time and publish some of the ideas here on this blog. Besides, I should spent that spare time on developing the actual software.
The service would basically be a website where users can register themselves and the channel they want to log. After they have registered, they can either invite a logging bot that will start logging the channel or upload their own IRC logfiles. Users should then be able to make use of the same functionality that the web application provides, such as viewing a logfile, browse the image gallery, create a paste, etc.
Back to coding…
