+Brainlet to IRC translation layer
+
+# Technical notes
+
+This uses irc@0.5.0. See [this](https://github.com/martynsmith/node-irc/issues/495) for more information
+
+This also uses a fork of ircdjs to add the NOTICE command. [This pull request](https://github.com/alexyoung/ircd.js/pull/99)
+is trying to get it merged with the main repository, but I'm not sure how fast it'll get merged seeing the date of the last commit.
