What is Atheme?
Atheme is an IRC services package. IRC services packages typically include NickServ, ChanServ, OperServ and MemoServ. Atheme is also a fully modularized IRC services core, which other services are built ontop of. Atheme is used by many mainstream networks, the largest of which being freenode.

Who develops Atheme?
Atheme is developed by atheme.org, an open-source development collective. Anyone can participate in the Atheme development process, simply by using our bugtracking instance. Contributors with an acceptable skillset and broad vision for the project are given commit access.

Where did Atheme come from?
Atheme was originally built ontop of the IRC handling core of Shrike, which is a legacy minimalist services package. The developers of Atheme decided that Shrike was a good basis to build a more full-featured services package from, based on their previous experience of contributing to Shrike. However, almost no code remains from Shrike, but some of the design concepts do.

Where is Atheme going in the future?
Atheme development is guided by it's core developers. To get an idea of the developmental direction of the project, visit our IRC channel or browse the enhancements section of the bugtracking instance.

Where can I get the latest code?
