I very much like some of the design choices in tircd. I would like to
implement "just enough" IRC protocol, like tircd, rather than relying on
the full IRC server provided by POE::Component::Server::IRC.
With that done, I'd flesh out the following features:
- multiple account support: use twitter ID and password in IRC
USER/PASS to establish connection and authenticate, just like tircd.
The first channel joined (whatever the user cares to call it) will be
the "primary" channel for the account.
- additional channels created for search or grouping users:
- setting topic in a new channel will result in a "followed" search
- implement a "search" command with -follow (or perhaps -nofollow)
option to add search results to any channel
- implement handling for the /KICK command:
/KICK nick #channel - moves nick from the current channel to #channel
/KICK nick unfollow - alias for the unfollow command
/KICK nick - removes nick from the channel (until INVITE
or next restart of twirc)
- implement /INVITE
/INVITE nick - adds nick to the channel, if the current
channel is the primary channel, functions the same as the "follow"
command.
- maybe implement /KICK nick NNN[s|m|h] - remove nick from the
channel for the specified amount of time.
I've delayed implementing search, wanting to replace the dependency on
POE::Component::Server::IRC, first. But perhaps it would be better to
try to implement search, first, in the current architecture.
Drop by #twirc and/or #net-twitter on irc.perl.org and let me know how
you would like to use search. You'll also find some help there if you
want to do some hacking yourself.
