 # Oragono
 
-Oragono is a very early, extremely experimental fork of the [Ergonomadic](https://github.com/edmund-huber/ergonomadic) IRC daemon. Ergonomadic looks cool, and this is something I can experiment on. Hopefully most of the stuff I do in this can be merged back into Ergonomadic! Also see the [mammon](https://github.com/mammon-ircd/mammon) IRC daemon for something similar written in Python.
