But ZNC actually uses a bunch of IRCv3 features.
- ChoHag 10y agoYou see that computer in front of you with its internet connection? All the things you don't think about, and most of the ones you do, work together the way they do because of the IETF. You see those other things that don't work together? Those are the ones the IETF didn't do.
- daenney 10y agoI am more than well aware what the IETF is and what it has done. However, your response providers absolutely no answer to my question and is quite frankly patronising and rude. I asked why this should be done under the IETF? What are the benefits, specific to the IRC protocol, of doing this under the banner of the IETF versus not? What do you believe will be gained by doing this under the IETF? There's plenty of protocols and technologies that we use today that don't fall under the IETF banner and are plenty successful. The W3C is an organisation that comes to mind for example.
