It aims to enable as many people as possible to use an existing Matrix homeserver with their existing IRC clients, and provides a radically expanded feature set for existing IRC communities looking to migrate to Matrix. See [pto.im](http://pto.im) for more info - or grab the code from [GitHub](https://github.com/tdfischer/pto). Unfortunately, it appears that this project is no longer being worked on. Check out [matrix-ircd](./matrix-ircd.html) instead!
