1. INTRODUCTION
===============
Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical. In addition to this unique feature, we aim to bring a pleasurable, comfortable chatting experience to all major platforms (including Linux©, Windows©, and MacOS X© as well as Android smartphones), making communication with your peers not only convenient, but also ubiquitous available.
- quassel.exe - monolithic client that includes the core & client in a single executable
- quasselcore.exe - server core that can be run as a command line application on a server and clients can connect to it
- quasselclient.exe - client to connect to a server core
Running the quasselcore on a server allows one to be permanently connected to IRC, the connect to that core from QuasselDroid (Android app) or quasselclient on any OS and get access to scrollback/history, etc.

We need to pay our full-time and part-time developers for their hard work. So any contribution is highly appreciated!
