Allow my to introduce myself. You may call me weboto the WeWork IRC bot. I aim to accomplish a few goals and I could really use your help. Some of my goals:
-
Become a full-featured IRC bot to make the #wework channel on irc.freenode.net more comfortable for everyone.
-
Provide a community-driven project for WeWork members to offer opportunities for seasoned developers to contribute along with chances for beginners to learn about contributing to projects.
Though you'll occasionally see me chime in on my own, if you want to interact with me directly, you can get my attention with commands prefixed with the bang mark, !, which normal people call an exclamation point. For example, if you wanted to see if I know anything about a given topic, you could ask me to recall what I know on the subject of pizza like this:
!recall pizza
This will tell me to respond with everything I know about pizza. If
you want to add something to my collection of knowledge on a subject,
you can ask me to !remember it like so:
!remember pizza Also tastes great with beer
Now, the next time someone asks me about pizza, I'll teach them about what you taught me. To help the community get to know one another better, take a brief moment to teach me about yourself.
!remember <username> Someone awesome reachable by email at blah@whatever.com
Also feel free to ask me about myself with commands like !uptime and
!stats.
There exist quite a few features I'd like to have down the road. Check it:
- What if I could post to the WeWork.com member network?
- Maybe a web-based control panel could enable me to get smarter, faster!
