-To build Quassel IRC, cd to build/ and run qmake && make. This builds all three
-versions of Quassel. You may choose individual targets by setting qmakes BUILD
-variable:
+Quassel IRC features three binaries: quasselcore, quasselclient, and
+quassel. While quasselcore and quasselclient obviously provide the
+separated core and client functionality, the latter one (quassel) is a
+monolithic version containing both of them for convenience.

-where <foo> is any combination of qtclient, core, mono or all. Note that in order

-seems to be ignored by qmake.

After running make, you will find the binaries in build/targets.
-make install will probably do something, but it has never been tried and may destroy
-your system or kill a kitten. It's not necessary anyway, since there are no installable
-files other than the binaries. Though this might change in later releases.

-On first run of the Quassel core, it will wait for a client to connect and present a
-(preliminary) first-run wizard. This will allow you to create the database and one
-admin user for the core-side storage. Note that Quassel does not support the
-administration of user accounts yet, this includes adding more users, changing passwords
-and so on. This is high on our TODO list, of course.

Quassel IRC - Release Notes
===========================
-This is a pre-release version. This means that a lot of stuff is not working
-yet, that copyright notices and licensing information are not always correct,
-and that stuff generelly breaks. We kindly ask you that you don't give out the
-source code or svn account information before the first public release. If you
-know interested persons, please point them to us and we will gladly make the
-source code available to them.

-don't need to report obviously missing features such as a working topic bar
-or nicklist, we know that ourselves ;-)

well; it's just not tested yet. We will eventually support general Qtopia
devices as well.
-Note that QuasselTopia is just the client; it can't do IRC by itself. You'll
-need a Quassel core running on some server or PC for the phone to connect to.
-
-For testing purposes we have provided a core on one of our servers. You can
-connect to it for checking out QuasselTopia without having to install your own.
-The core can be reached at <apollo.mindpool.net:4242>, with user 'testuser'
-and password 'testuser'. If you can't connect, please let us know, and we'll
-restart it. You may also connect with a Quassel desktop client to this core.
-The test account will be automatically created on first run.
-
-In its current state, QuasselTopia cannot do much except for connecting
-to a core and displaying the buffers you are in. Oh, and chatting of course.
-But you cannot change any settings, create/edit identities or networks,
-you can't even connect to a network from the Greenphone. So in order to test
-QuasselTopia, it's a good idea to have a desktop Quassel client connected
-at the same time, so that you can do these things from your PC.
-
-QuasselTopia thus is in a very early state, merely a proof of concept rather
-than something for day-to-day use. It shows already though that a mobile
-Quassel version is feasible and usable, and QuasselTopia will evolve together
-with the desktop version.
