4 rbot is a ruby IRC bot. Think of him as a ruby bot framework with a highly
5 modular design based around plugins.
10 * Runtime configuration via irc chat
11 * User authentication and access levels for using different bot features
12 * Built in infobot-style keywords. See example session below.
13 * Support for underlying fact database (infobot fact files), which can
14 be overridden or supplemented by runtime keyword controls
15 * Multi-language support - comes with english, dutch and german definitions
16 so far - more translations welcome
17 * Powerful plugin architecture, comes with plugins for:
19 o Babelfish translation
24 o Checking the weather
27 o Per-channel quote storage, searching and retrieval
30 o Check the spelling of a word
31 o Webserver Server: header examination
37 Thanks are owed to the infobot developers - several of rbot's features are
38 inspired by infobot and so are some of the default plugins. Thanks are also
39 owed to RADKade1, as rbot's quote plugin is a direct reimplementation of his
40 "quotesaq" - simply because it's a great quote interface.
42 Mainly, rbot's fun to play with, although the plugin architecture can be used
43 to write very useful modules
