TS6 Support #329

Open mweinelt opened 7 years ago

mweinelt commented 7 years ago

Adding support for TS6 would allow the appservice to be an actual ircd and bridge users by linking using server to server connections.

TS6 is supported by decendants of ratbox, like Charybdis, and a few others. https://github.com/grawity/irc-docs/blob/master/family-tree.txt

I'm unsure how feasible this is, but it would be an interesting extension to make this approach really scalable.

Another possibility would be to implement this in matrix-org/matrix-ircd.

I think this issue should be considered again due to freenode announcing opening server linking while the people saying they won't link with anyone else have moved on to https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/1324.
