A cool idea but reactions don’t work in IRC, so I didn’t go for it. There’s also which is another take using reactions to subscribe to other people’s reminders.it’s all “!command” driven so works for IRC too. schedulebot - we’re using which allows us to set reminders in the channel.Reactions could be very useful, but obviously would be Matrix-only (think: an emoji for #info, etc, and the bot collates comments marked as such) Having a bot that could gather those would be the minimum-viable thing here, I think. However, Matrix has the bonus of always having history, so I think the key part here is the commands like #info, #action, and so forth. meetbot - I have yet to find something that does meetings as well as zodbot on the Matrix side, so we’re still using that.Hi all! I’m doing the Matrix work for the Ansible community, and following a quick chat with it was suggested I put some of my thoughts on bots here for your consumption What am I missing? What else would be really useful to have? What else would be fun? packageinfobot – returns stuff about, you know, packages.Could maybe do more, like report when badges are earned in certain channels, or report on changes in the top 10. badgesbot – tells number of badges held by a user.welcomebot – helps new users find resources.

fire mattdm (try that in IRC with zodbot) Might want to have this one running twice, one at for official announcements (like stuff that would go on announce-list) and for commblog posts, devel-announce, etc.

newsbot – posts annoucements in the news channel.

people info bot – tells you about Fedora Account info.

schedulebot – tells you when the next meeting is, maybe can do more (like tell you about the Fedora Linux schedule?).

But maybe it could do other things too! Unlike other bots, needs to be whatevernamebot: instead of whatevernamebot:fedora.im.

channelbot – we need this for technical reasons in each : channel.

cookiebot – translates username++ into badges (and perhaps enables other recognition stuff beyond just plus-plusses).

meetbot – logs meetings, sends those logs to møte.These are ones I’m pretty sure we want – in rough order of importance. I think it’d be nice to actually break these up into smaller roles. Some of these bots include existing functionality from Zodbot, some are new ideas. I am here giving them functional names, but we could also give them clever names.
