F.A.Q.
Who created Janus?
Janus was created by Daniel De Graaf (danieldg) in 2008, De Graaf is currently heading the InspIRCd 2.0 development. Daniel no longer maintains the Janus project nor does he support it.
What is Janus?
Janus' short description is the Janus Inter-Network Channel Linker. In basic terms, it provides server administrators the ability to link non-common IRCd's as if they were the same flavor of IRCd. Both networks may keep their services, and both networks can be picky about which channels they would like to share, and the channels they wish to keep local/private. As JanusIRC used to say "It is a Relay Bot on steroids."
Why use Janus?
Janus allows server administrators the chance to link their channels to another server and vis versa with out having to share ALL channels on the network. Each network still have their own irc ops, although those channels which are shared can be controlled by any irc op, unless the channel is claimed with Janus.
Do I have to install Janus too?
No! Only one person needs to host Janus. We estimate between 250-360 different networks can be hosted on Janus before someone has to edit the source code. Janus runs on it's own, and links to two or more IRC Daemons.
Is it easy to link a Janus?
Yes! You add Janus just like you would another server by linking with a link block. It can link to multiple networks and selectively share channels with various network on a per share and link basis.
Where can I download Janus?
