IRC bot

Revision as of 23:12, 17 November 2007 by Codeslave.ca.ibm.com (Talk | contribs) (Feature Requests: add bugzilla queries)

An IRC bot named KOS-MOS has recently been created using the Eclipse Communication Framework project's Bot Framework. The bot sits in the Freenode IRC Eclipse channels and is intended to help make the lives of everyone in the channel a little easier by being able to access Bugzilla and provide helpful links that users often needs to go to such as the Eclipse platform's APIs.
