Here is a quick development update on QuickServ.NET.

The main code that handles the server protocol is nearly completed. QuickServ.NET can successfully connect to an IRC server, and populate the internal database with the user information and channels information (including modes, ops, voice, regular members, topic, etc). While some fine tuning is still required, I’m happy that I can start moving on to the actual services.

One of the biggest obstacles when coding/test is that I don’t have access to an IRC network that has a userbase, established channels, and traffic. In an effort to “counter” that, I’ve also created a “server simulator” that I’ve been using to stress-test QuickServ.NET with positive results.

Anyway, since all services revolve around NickServ (well, sort of), I’ve started my work on that. I’ll keep everyone (currently, that means no one) up-to-date on how that is going (so far, I have the barebones of a REGISTER command and an IDENT command).
