We're going to get along just fine.

DickieBot

IRC bot written in Python (2.6). DickieBot is an experiment in Python and IRC APIs. Once I have a good handle on both, the plan is to make him a permanent fixture in #makerslocal, granted there are no significant objections and he does not become a bother. PM Dickie if you find an exploit or bug.

Current functionality

• Wiki search: Scrapes the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article to return a summary of the search term
• Factoids (using a SQL Lite data table)

Future functionality/enhancements/ideas

• Factoid security
• Rewrite Wiki search for speed. Also return suggestions when search yeilds no results and do something about lists of definitions on ambiguous terms.
