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