+Frequently asked questions
+==========================
+
+Is SSL supported?
+-----------------
+
+Yes.
+
+Why plugins are not loaded per server?
+--------------------------------------
+
+This is a good question.
+
+I thought a lot about using plugin per server at first, this will add more
+flexibility about using different plugin configuration per server but will also
+be a huge pain to maintain for the user. Because a lot of people will use an
+only one irccd instance and server, I prefer to keep plugins globally and not
+per server basis.
+
+This also means that by default, all plugins will be enabled on all servers and
+channels but it can be easily filtered with the irccd rule system.
+
+Example:
+
+    # Create a whitelist for plugin 'xyz'.
+    [rule]
+    plugins = xyz
+    action = drop
+    
+    # Re-enable 'xyz' on desired channels.
+    [rule]
+    servers = "myserver"
+    channels = "#mychannel"
+    plugins = xyz
+    action = accept
+
+Why Javascript instead of (insert my favorite language here)?
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Because Javascript is a very light language easy to embed. The irccd
+implementation uses [duktape](http://duktape.org).
+
+- Starting with version 3.0.0 you can write plugins in C++.
+- Starting with version 3.1.0 you can write hooks in any language, but they are
+  less powerful than plugins though.
+
+See also question below.
+
+Do you plan to add (my language)?
+---------------------------------
+
+No, there are plenty of bots which support your language.
+
+Is it possible to combine commands like `!foo !bar`?
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Absolutely no, and will never. The special `onCommand` event is dedicated to
+specific plugin.
+
+Internally, when a user writes a message like `!stats hello` (assuming that
+command char is '!'), then irccd will search for the plugin *stats* and pass the
+trailing text to the plugin command.
+
+In that way, the plugins will never conflict on `onCommand`. This security is
+called plugin namespaces. By the way, this does not make sense and I don't know
+many bot which support this "feature".
+
+Remember, IRC plugins are not shell commands that you can pipe one to another.
+
+Is it possible to integrate plugin dependencies?
+------------------------------------------------
+
+No, plugins should be independant.
+
+There are no ways to require a plugin. However, you can still verify if a plugin
+is loaded via the `Irccd.Plugin.info` function and eventually load it using
+`Irccd.Plugin.load`
+
+Does irccd support DCC?
+-----------------------
+
+Not at the moment.
+
+What if I use a specific encoding?
+----------------------------------
+
+Irccd is encoding agnostic just as the IRC protocol. If the server send UTF-8
+messages, then irccd will pass these UTF-8 encoded messages to the plugins.
+
+The bot does not connect to the Freenode server!
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Be sure to set a different identity (with different nickname **and** username)
+because **irccd** is a registered nickname.
+
+Isn't irccd bloat and against KISS/UNIX philosophies?
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+The definition of bloat is quite subjective.
+
+In some aspects it may be considered as a bit too complicated for an IRC bot but
+is still quite minimal.
+
+Because irccd offers a runtime controllable mechanism with lots of commands (30
+at this time of writing), it increases the total number of lines of code and
+since it's written in C++, yes it requires some time to build. Please also note
+that irccd is excessively tested.
+
+On the other hand, I must admit that I regret having used [boost][] for such a
+small project which definitely increased its complexity in some parts. But given
+its current stability and completeness, there are no plans to rewrite irccd in
+C.
+
+What does irccd drink?
+----------------------
+
+Irccd only drinks white beer and French cognac.
