[tobe] development

a !tv command would be cool, where [tobe] would state the current programs on tv. Could be done by querying the Radiotimes site maybe?

!tv could be cool and could be done be querying http://www.teletext.co.uk/tvplus/nownext.asp?High=3

Also, I think a !troutedit, accessible by the original troutadder would be cool. Would avoid having similar trouts with typos. (I haven't done that, ever!)

Possibly a !troutdel and a !troutfinda to replace the current !troutfind and make the !troutfind channel specific.

There, that should be enough to be going on with :)

I've been thinking (rare)... rather than tobe posting replies to you in the channel. i.e. !help trout will disply the help topic to the entire channel which makes it look a bit cluttered. I dont know about others, but I'd like [tobe] to send a private message to the user instead.

Thanks for the suggestions Joe & Martin.

Martin - if you do "/msg [tobe] !help trout" he'll reply to you personally - this way people can show other people the help within the channel, but if you want to see it yourself you can do it privately. Hope that helps.

I'm not actively working on [tobe] until I figure out how to do a rewrite which may be a while... but I will get round to it one day...

!quote-simpsons
!quote-office
!quote-futurama

etc etc

or something like that would be coool

!vote function. So you could do:

!vote-start 2h Is tobe the best irc bot in the world?

then people could vote for 2 hours on that like:
!vote yes
!vote no
!vote abstain
or suchlike

auth'd starter could stop vote with !vote-stop too.

A fact of the day function:

At the start of each day, [tobe] selects a random fact (from a collection that can be modified, as for trout, quote etc) and places this in the topic of the channel. The function would have to also delete the previous fact of the day.

How about some stuff for online meetings:

!agenda
!aob
!action

etc
