-I. Introduction
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-ngIRCd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for
-small or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License
-(GPL; please see the file COPYING for details). It is simple to configure,
-can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6 as well as SSL. It is
-written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.
-
-The name ngIRCd means next generation IRC daemon, which is a little bit
-exaggerated: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server most probably would be a
-better name :-)
-
-Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information!
-
-
-II. Status
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be used as daemon in
-real world IRC networks.
-
-It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of the
-original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
-specified by the RFCs that are used by existing clients.
-
-
