README
rbot README
===========

rbot is a ruby IRC bot. Think of him as a ruby bot framework with a highly
modular design based around plugins.

rbot features
=============

* Runtime configuration via irc chat
* User authentication and access levels for using different bot features
* Built in infobot-style keywords. See example session below.
* Support for underlying fact database (infobot fact files), which can
  be overridden or supplemented by runtime keyword controls
* Multi-language support - comes with english, dutch and german definitions
  so far - more translations welcome
* Powerful plugin architecture, comes with plugins for:
  o DNS queries
  o Babelfish translation
  o Google searching
  o Excuse generation
  o Insult generation
  o Karma
  o Checking the weather
  o Querying slashdot
  o Doing Math
  o Per-channel quote storage, searching and retrieval
  o Reminders
  o rot13 translation
  o Check the spelling of a word
  o Webserver Server: header examination
  o RPG dice rolling
  o larting people
  o conversation stats
  o more... 

Thanks are owed to the infobot developers - several of rbot's features are
inspired by infobot and so are some of the default plugins. Thanks are also
owed to RADKade1, as rbot's quote plugin is a direct reimplementation of his
"quotesaq" - simply because it's a great quote interface.

Mainly, rbot's fun to play with, although the plugin architecture can be used
to write very useful modules
