-Charybdis started as an evolution from ircd-ratbox-2.1.5+datadrain. Its
-development is led by a team of dedicated developers who have put a lot
-of time into the project.
+ShadowIRCd 6 is a modern restart of the old ShadowIRCd project
+based on Charybdis with a few additional features to make it appeal
+more to more users. We try to work as closely as possible with the
+Charybdis team.
+
+The ShadowIRCd team is listed in nick-alphabetical order:
+
+jdhore, JD Horelick <jdhore1 -at- gmail.com>
+Taros, Brett Greenham <taros34 -at- hotmail.com>
+
+Some ShadowIRCd 6 features such as the oper-override and remote
+RESTART, DIE and MOD* commands were borrowed from ircd-seven.
