Cia is a system for tracking open-source projects in real-time. people all over the world are constantly collaborating and creating software, creating a constant flow of new code and new ideas. cia provides an easy way for people to observe this flow. commit messages will be posted in #commits on freenode.net, and cia bots can be asked to join other irc networks and channels for individual projects.

* arch (tla)
* bazaar (bzr)
* bitkeeper (bk)
* cvs
* darcs
* git
* subversion (svn)
(the svnmailer package also includes cia support)
* mercurial (hg)
