In the last week I've been searching for "the" blosxom IRC channel. Turned out there was none. Open source projects without irc channels, what the hell? Anyway, I dug a little and found out there used to be one on Freenode. It's even still registered (I still need to find a "real" blosxom dev that wants to register me as group contact for blosxom, but that's for later), but the channel owner hasn't been around for 2 years :-)
I decided to just hang around the channel as I do with my other dozen channels and see what happens. To improve my chances, I've posted a message to the mailing list stating my intent. By now, there are already 5 people in the channel, maybe some more will join soon. Quickly I understood that the first thing everybody wants to do was see eachother blogs, so urls keep flying around. To facilitate that, I wrote a small (plugin for an) IRC bot that saves everyones urls. This IRC bot is called "blogbot" for now due to lack of inspiration and supports a few simple commands:
- #setblog <url> - Sets the url to you blog.
- #blog [<nick>] - Gets the url of the specified nick, or your own if no nick is there.
- #bloglist - Lists all the blogs the bot knows about. I might kill this command in the future, if the list gets longer...
