Some ideas for doing mashups of IRC and Wi Ki (esp Wiki For Collaboration Ware)
- I'm not doing anything with this at the moment because our office connectivity is flaky enough that I suspect a bot would keep getting disconnected
- though maybe I need to test that theory because I think some bots have auto-reconnect features...
Irc Bot ideas
associates a Wiki Space with a channel (I guess that should be changeable by sending it a command)
rev2: use Inter Wiki Map config file and allow cross-wiki names like InterMap (for non-default spaces)
recognizes Wiki Word-s in the human postings
- checks each against a current list of nodes in the wiki namespace (so you'd need some config file listing the nodes per space, and a way to update it)
Worse Is Better: don't even worry about it, just generate URI as if it existed
for each match outputs the associated URI
A flip-related idea: bot that watches Recent Changes and posts changes to IRC.
maybe makes sense to use RSS for this?
custom IRC client - tweak Chat Zilla or Wx Irc? Have to get the entire team using the same one.
have a Wi Ki space associated with a session. If you double-click (ctrl-click?) on a Wiki Word it launches a browser window for that page.
