Re: [infobot] Meta-discussion vs. details

alright

i think i need to contribute another perspective here, as a user and not a 
developer, i run an infobot in its pure unadulterated form...

what i needed was an 'encyclopaedic' bot that is 
1) simple to get running
2) low on maintenance
3) would do all the work by itself, while i leave my channel unattended for 
looong periods of time. i don't see much traffic there, but that is not much 
of a concern to me...

i settled on a stable release of infobot for this purpose and it has been 
running for a very long time and works quite adequately. not perfect, but 
closer to perfect than anything else that i have tried in a very subjective 
sense...

now, i am no code-gremlin, and my  development skills are rather basic if any.

i would like to see the current functions of infobot enhanced, while at the 
same time, it should still be recognisable as the infobot that i know now, 
for the one reason being that what it has to offer now, is basically the 
framework that i find suitable for my needs.
else i might  have implemented some other product.

frankly, i find infobot in its current incarnation the closest thing to the 
ideal, as i have said before... per example... whether infobot speaks when 
spoken to, or just comments on whatever is heard, should remain a matter of 
implementation choice.

cheerz!
