Bahamut was taken on by a group of loosely knit coders that decided that Dreamforge just was eating up too much CPU to handle DALnet's growing user base. Originally starting out as the DFhybrid project, it slowly grew into the Bahamut project as the peices started falling together. Bahamut is based upon the hybrid IRCd, developed for EFnet, and we most surely wouldn't be where we are today without the dedication of the coders that developed that IRCd. The Hybrid team is outlined in the file included with this distribution, in doc/Hybrid-team. Please look over that file, those people are as much to credit for this as the people listed here. People who have supported the Bahamut project with code, support, or testing are, in alphabetical order: Aaron Wiebe epiphani@dal.net Chip Norkus wd@dal.net David Friedman driz@dal.net David Knepper dakal@dal.net David Parton sedition@dal.net Diane Bruce db@koruna.varner.com Ian Westcott rakarra@dal.net Jason Slagle raistlin@bahamut.net Karthik Arumugham karthik@karthik.com Kevin Turner kevin@dal.net Lucas Madar lucas@dal.net Mark Salerno msofty@dal.net Peter Wood doc_z@dal.net Ryan Smith xpsycho@dal.net Sven Nielsen dalvenjah@dal.net Thanks goes out to all those not listed here, your help is much appreciated. Feel free to contact the Bahamut team with any bugs, bug fixes, and the like at: coders@dal.net Also, there is a public mailing list for bahamut: dalnet-src@dal.net. This list would be the place to send suggestions and comments regarding Bahamut. And, last but not least, the Bahamut website is at http://bahamut.dal.net.
