11 Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that
12 one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core: much
13 like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as
14 WeeChat, but graphical. In addition to this unique feature, we aim to bring a
15 pleasurable, comfortable chatting experience to all major platforms, making
16 communication with your peers not only convenient, but also available everywhere.
19 And the best of all: It's free - as in beer and as in speech.
22 This application is the "monolithic" build of Quassel; it can be used on its own
23 without setting up a core.
