Create commands for managing kiva account

[patcon]

When telling @arvinsingla that I would be hacking on gittip support for hubot tonight (#31), he suggested that we could also add commands for managing our kiva profile from chat.

Turns out that Kiva actually seems to have a pretty rockin API :)
http://build.kiva.org/api

Does not appear to be any good api client libs yet:

@patcon Did you check out this https://github.com/kiva/API/tree/master/code/js/api ?
Also you may try hitting up @aswintyv https://github.com/aswintyv as he has been doing some Hubot integration for us.

@patcon the code in https://github.com/kiva/API/tree/master/code/js/api is just a basic example using JS. There are a host of third party SDKs here: http://build.kiva.org/docs/data/sdks

Ok AMAAAAAZING. Clearly I get what I deserve by being lazy and filtering by "stars" :)

Totally using and contributing to this when the time comes:

Holy shit, I'm psyched.

Great! Feel free to send pull requests. Cheers.

@patcon, thanks for your interest! I'm just now reading up on gittip (really cool!), can you help me better understand what you mean by "add commands for managing our kiva profile from chat"? Also, what type of data do you think you'll be needing?

We have some backlog work for improving on the current API (using Siren and Backbone.Siren) and while it probably won't do you much good at this point, its always good to understand the real world use-cases.

Hey man, I don't use kiva actively myself right now, so I'd need to investigate the dynamics a bit more. But if it helps, here's how we can now use gittip inline with our chat tool:

cc: @arvinsingla, are you an active kiva-er?

Oh hey, clarification: the idea is that it's eventually using the organizational account and letting everyone manage it, so ignore the fact that it says I'm tipping in the company chat.

Awesome, thanks!
