Bug#103593: ITP: scrollz
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
I intend to package the scrollz IRC client (and in fact have been asked to
do so by upstream :).
Description: An advanced ircII-based IRC client
ScrollZ is advanced IRC client based on ircII code. It adds features
normally found in ircII scripts like Toolz, PhoEniX, GargOyle or Lice.
.
The main difference between these scripts and ScrollZ is the code. Where
ircII scripts take a lot of disk and memory space and run slow, ScrollZ
only takes a couple of extra kilobytes compared to stock ircII client
yet runs faster than any ircII script. This was accomplished by using
C code instead of ircII scripting language. This reduces memory and
CPU usage and code tends to run way faster.
Scrollz has just been released under new licensing terms, specifically, the
3-clause BSD-style license. It is available at http://www.scrollz.com.

We'll pivot at warp 2 and bring all tubes to bear, Mr. Sulu!
