IRC command cheat sheet

When you first enter the channel, type: present+

Commands anyone can use:

q+  (to add yourself to the speaker queue)
q+ to say [what you want to say]  (to add yourself to the speaker queue with reminder message)
ack me  (acknowledge oneself from the speaker queue (used when you speak - often the chair will do this)
ack ja  (acknowledge james from the q)
q- (remove from the q - use if you decide you no longer want to speak)
q?  (to find out if anyone is on the q)

[More Advanced IRC commands (rarely used)](https://www.w3.org/2001/12/zakim-irc-bot.html#speakerqueue).

s/old text/new text/  (to replace something that was typed. Make sure "old text" is unique)
s/old text//  (to delete "old text")

/me message  (sends message to channel without adding to minutes. Adds * prefix, i.e.)
* joanie says Zakim is named after a bridge in Boston and pronounced Zay come

These are the commands to set up a meeting

/invite zakim
zakim, start meeting
agendabot, find agenda
meeting: ARIA WG
chair: JamesNurthen
agenda? (to list the agenda items - chair usually enters agenda using `agenda+ item`)

Scribing commands used during the call:

scribe: [your nickname]
zakim, next item
zakim, close this item   (might need this if we try to move to the next item too soon)
zakim, take up item 6   (might need this to go directly to a specific item)

topic: topic name  (ARIA WG doesn't use this, but APG does)
github: [github issue url]  (adds current topic discussion to github issue)
agenda+ [topic to add to agenda]

When scribing conversation, tab key will (usually - if the user in IRC and the IRC client supports it) complete the person's name after 2 or 3 letters, for example:

ja[tab] completes to jamesn: 
jc[tab] completes to jcraig:

Scribing commands used at the end of the call to prepare the minutes:

zakim, end meeting

If the minutes need correcting

present+ name  (if anyone who was on the call is missing from the list)
present- name  (if someone is added twice for example)
regrets+ name  (for anyone who sent regrets)
rrsagent, make minutes (re-makes the minutes)

Open the minutes link in a new tab, and check that they look ok (may need to refresh several times). If all is well, email minutes link to group (I usually just reply to the agenda email). If anything is missing, add it, and then rrsagent, make minutes again.

The following links have way too much information, but here they are for completeness:
