Hello,

I don't have time to work on Thales currently, and probably won't before
mid-2005. I must admit I've also lost interest in IRC-related projects.
If you are interested in working on Thales, that's good. I can of course
give you CVS access, and help you get a basic understanding of the code.

If you want to start your own project, you don't need to rewrite
something from scratch. Thales is released under the GPL, you can just
fork it. However, I don't really see the need in forking thales, since I
can give you all access you need/want.

Thank you for your interest in Thales,

Lucas
