About

shardik is based on http://willie.dftba.net/, with some extra modules (hosted at https://github.com/techinc/spacebot_modules).

You can /msg shardik to have a private query (and reduce spam on the channel)

Disabled Features

Willie has a lot of features, we have turned some of them off.

  • auto-correction based on regex s/x/y was disabled (as some ppl complained it was annoying)
  • ai has been disabled
  • Shardik may be separated into two bots, one for space related items and another for other bot things (so ppl can ignore one)

Planned Features

  • automate trackstate and startrss on channel join
  • next event module (based on next wiki event, with reminder notice to channel before an event)
  • wikibot module - for other wiki integration (tools, pledges, projects, users, etc?)
  • helpbot module - for space info/faq/intro stuff
  • meetbot module - there are meeting features in the bot (to manage irc meetings and automatically export logs/notes)
