  behind si is an other idea, than behind other chat clients. he has an very
  simple design, because all the I/O with the user is done through files and
  fifos. so in its basic variant it isn't so comfortabel, but you can write your
  own scripts around it or use systems other people had written.

  The SILC protocol is very similar to the IRC protocol, but the main difference
  is that in SILC all messages are encrypted on the whole way. SILC has also many
  advantages to irc, like watches or not unique nicknames ( no nickwars )

  si is very untested code, so you will  find bugs. In case you do so,
  please don't hesitate to fix them. In case you are not able to do so,
  try to describe it in detail. In detail. And watch out, whether the
  CVS version already has it fixed.

  besides all the untested code, i think it is usable (for me, at least)

  first you had to install libsilc (http://silcnet.org)

  cd $sourcedir
  make
  make install (as root)

  When your SILC includes/libs are not in /usr/local/silc you had to specify them like 
  this

  make SILCINCLUDE=/path/to/silc/include SILCLIB=/path/to/silc/lib
