hilcoe_forwarder

A telegram bot that forwards messages to a HiLCoE group.

In HiLCoE each course has its own specific telegram group. This is good, for separation of subjects but it makes the life of students a bit harder.

For example if a student is taking 6 courses, there he has to check 6 different groups in order to be on track.

This bot tries to solve that problem, by forwarding all messages from those 6 groups to a single group. That way the student can only follow a single group and mute the others if he/she sees fit.
