[Pythoncard-users] #pythoncard irc channel on freenode

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I've started a #pythoncard channel on irc.freenode.net. Jeremy Fincher 
has graciously agreed to run supybot on the channel, so it should 
always be active and have a lot of commands available via supybot. I'll 
probably be in there pretty regularly until we know whether it will be 
a valuable forum for discussing PythonCard outside of the mailing list. 
If we get a group of regulars that can answer FAQ type questions that 
will be awesome. Maybe we'll even do a Supybot PythonCard plugin.

You can ask supybot to do something for you by using the @ command. 
Here's an example I just tried in the channel...

altis: @list
supybot: altis: Admin, Alias, Amazon, Babelfish, Bugzilla, Channel, 
ChannelLogger, ChannelStats, Config, Debian, Dict, Ebay, Enforcer, 
Factoids, Filter, Fun, FunDB, Gameknot, Google, Herald, Http, Karma, 
Lookup, Math, Misc, Network, News, Note, Owner, Python, Quotes, RSS, 
Relay, RootWarner, Scheduler, Seen, Services, Sourceforge, Status, 
Todo, Topic, URL, Unix, User, Utilities, Weather, and WordStats
altis: @help
supybot: altis: (help [<plugin>] <command>) -- This command gives a 
useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary 
if the command is in more than one plugin.

See the Supybot site for more info...

On Mac OS X, I'm using Colloquy, http://colloquy.info/ as my client. On 
Windows, you might want to try mIRC, http://www.mirc.com/ There are a 
ton of irc clients to choose from on all platforms.
