Helping Development + +Hey you! Irssi is desperately looking for developers. No groundbreaking development has occured since ten years. Apart from fixing "(rel-external)bugs"://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues and reviewing "(rel-external)patches"://github/com/irssi/irssi/pulls, there are also many huge issues which noone is tackling at the moment. Some of those are: + +* Rewrite the fe-text front-end to include vertical splits, flexible and multi-line status bars, vertical bars, zoom, layout pre-sets, dynamic themes, message tags, time-stamped messages, etc. +* Rewrite the core to optionally work in a distributed manner (where you can run the server connections on one server and connect to it with multiple fe-text front-ends) +* Revamp the API to better integrate multiple scripting languages (like Javascript, Lua) and require less (Perl-specific) glue code +* Fix and improve network Proxy support (SSL-enabled proxies, SSL connections over proxies, native SOCKS proxies in Irssi, better TOR support, per network proxies) ("#148"://github.com/irssi/irssi/pull/148) +* Extend the IRC code to work better with any IRCv3 features, finish integration of SASL ("(rel-external)#222"://github.com/irssi/irssi/pull/222) +* XMPP improvements +* Website improvements + +Also review the "(rel-external)Unofficial Roadmap"://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki/Roadmap for a further source of TODOs. + +h3. Scripts + +Perl scripts can be submitted to the "(rel-external)Irssi Script Repository":http://scripts.irssi.org/ by following the instructions and sending a Pull Request on Github. Next to the perl and signals "documentation":/documentation/, the "(rel-external)Unofficial Irssi Scripting Documentation Wiki"://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki may have additional helpful resources about writing scripts. + +h3. Themes + +Most of the existing documentation regarding themes can be found in the @default.theme@ file created by Irssi when you @/save@, or @/save -formats@. Much of themeing is artistic skills combined with trial and error. Nice themes can be submitted to the "(rel-external)Irssi Themes Collection"://irssi-import.github.io/themes/ through a Github Pull Request. + -- cgit v1.2.3
