[SNG-chat] Volunteer

[David M. <da...@ic...>]

Hey there,

Not really sure what to say, but I'd like to volunteer my services for this
project (even though it's a bit late). I saw the discussions going on in the
ircservices mailing list and agree that a ground-up approach is probably the
best idea, since most of the services out there at the moment are based from
the original ircservices code written quite a while ago.

I'm based in the UK and I'm currently operating an Unreal network with
ircservices 5 with about 120 users on at any one time. I've got quite a lot
of experience with coding in C/C++, but I'm not the best at it. If you want
to see an example of my code, you can check out
http://davep120.tripod.com/life3.cc.txt, which is a small piece of C++ code
for the game of life thing that I made a few months ago.

My suggestion would be for the services to use C++ instead of a C/Java
codebase. Most people have a C++ compiler now since (more or less) everyone
seems to use gcc, and C++ is a much more powerful language in my opinion.
Then again, I'm biased against Java because I've not really looked into it,
and I prefer C++ anyway :P

So, that's me. I'd be grateful if you did let me help out on the project a
lot, because I need the experience more than anything else.

Cheers,
