Last day I spent mostly looking around for a cross-platform and a community supported IRC daemon that will be used for this project. After some research, I decided to go with InspIRCd. It seems to have decent documentation, and should fit our needs for IRC daemon.

As for the bot, we decided to go with Supybot. It’s written in Python and seems to be easy to extend by writing custom plugins (in Python of course). It already comes with several useful plugins, in particular the RSS feed and chat logger.
