Welcome to the SwiftIRC Development Blog.

You can navigate through the blog by selecting a Category to the right of this message. All staff are given access to create their own blog posts where they can share details of projects, give feedback on recent updates and initiate conversation with the user base.

Alternatively you can navigate through the categories by entering the staff members name as a link. The following is an example which would direct you to Concept’s blog; http://blog.swiftirc.net/category/staff-blogs/concept

Long has it been felt that the users of SwiftIRC have deserved far more information about the going-ons of SwiftIRC than has been otherwise available. This is beneficial to both the users and the administration as for the users, decisions that concern their network concern them. For the administration, the aim has never been to sit upon a pedestal, but rather to openly interact with the users of SwiftIRC so that their decisions reflect the best interests of as many users as possible. At the same time, change is being openly embraced as we seek to refine the services and support offered to our users to cater for as many users as possible in as fair and transparent a means as possible.

To serve these dual aims, the SwiftBlog has been set up with the hopes that users will be able to voice their opinions constructively at best, or at the very least have access to an update of the latest dastardly plans going on behind the veiled curtains of the administration. With any luck, these posts will hopefully reveal the rationale behind our decisions as well as our hopes for the various plans we have. As such, I openly encourage all users to take part in this project and share their thoughts as each post is brought out, offering their constructive feedback where possible.
