Hi folks,
Most of you probably heard about new stream of RC changes as
alternative to IRC:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCStream
I simply found it complex beyond the edge of usability for most of
solutions that use low level languages or frameworks that don't
support modern technologies like JSON or websocket.IO and don't want
to be overbloated with 3rd libs, so I launched this alternative
provider:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/XmlRcs
If you aren't using JavaScript or Python and you found new RC provider
(RCStream) too complex, you might find this useful.
