An attempt to write a full open source bot better than eggdrop, with every single feature, but better.

Nexus simplifys the creation of an IRC client using PHP5 by providing developers with easy to use functions to handle IRC events without having to parse raw data. Phobos is included as an example of an IRC bot created with Nexus.

The Open Descent Foundation (ODF) is a community for developers, who want to help to create open source programs, tools, etc. for the famous games Descent1, -2 or -3. Everyone can join the ODF if he accepts the idea of writing open source programs.

A scripting language for an IRCBot (eggdrop like) written in C++.

An open source plugin framework built for the PircBot Java IRC Bot Framework
