SILC Server Available For TestingThere is SILC server up and running that can be tested. Just give command /server silc.pspt.fi to connect to the server. There may be some action on channel #silc so you might want to give command /join #silc. Because of the current shortcomings of the SILC client and server you won't get user list who has joined to the channel thus you don't see who is on the channel. To get into action just say hello.

SILC Project StartedNew Open Source project called Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) has been started. Initial development version of the software is available for testing. SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel. SILC is IRC like software although internally they are very different. Biggest similiarity between SILC and IRC is that they both provide conferencing services and that SILC has almost same commands as IRC. Other than that they are nothing alike. Biggest differences are that SILC is secure what IRC is not in any way. The network model is also entirely different compared to IRC. SILC is an open source (or freeware) project and it has been released under the GNU General Public Licence. The SILC is free to use and everyone is free to distribute and change the SILC under the terms of the GNU GPL. While there is no guarantee for the product SILC has been tried make as secure as possible. Developers are needed and everyone is free to contribute their time, skills and ideas for the project.
