XMPP Robots in chatrooms

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The XSF's primary chatroom (xmpp:jdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?join) has, for as long as I can remember, had a bot present which responds to certain carefully crafted utterances with responses containing useful information.

As some people have already noticed, on hallway@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, one of my colleagues (Kevin Smith, the XMPP Council's chair) has put this bot adapted to service queries about IETF related documents.

It'll respond to several verbs, including "cite", "rfc", "id", and "xep". These all take either a reference, or a search term.

Verbs and arguments are either inlined into other discussion by enclosing in [], or else are the sole thing in a message by prefixing with !.

It's most useful when the chatroom is actively being used for discussions, but to give some potted examples of how to use it:

[14:25:20] brian.bnsmith: !rfc 4041
[14:25:20] XMPPBot: brian.bnsmith: rfc4041: requirements for morality sections in routing area drafts (april 1 2005) See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/4041

[17:57:03] dwd: !xep 45
[17:57:06] XMPPBot: dwd: XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat is Standards Track (Draft, 2008-07-16) See: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html

[17:57:28] dwd: And I need to mention [cite randomly] here.
[17:57:49] XMPPBot: dwd: rfc748: telnet randomly-lose option (april' day='1 1978) See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/748

"cite" will search all of RFCs, I-Ds, W3Cs and anything else it can find in the citation indices at http://xml.resource.org/

Have fun, and please let either Kevin Smith <kevin.smith@xxxxxxxxx> or myself know if you have any feedback.

We'll keep it running throughout IETF week at least, and if it seems useful, beyond.

Dave.
