Jabber chatbot framework

Toby Donaldson — Fri, 29 Apr 2005 04:10:19 -0000

Create a framework for creating Jabber chatbots. It
should be simple enough for beginning programmers to
use. You may want to look at the Smack Jabber library.

As an example of how this framework would be used, I
would like to be able to create a trivial chatbot that
says "Booyah!!" for any message that anyone sends to it.

The chatbot code I need to write should be in its own
object, and then this object is pluggied into the
Jabber framework. Thus I do not need to worry about
Jabber or networking, although I do need to have a
Jabber account on the server I want my bot to be on.

The exact design of this feature requires some thought
and perhaps experimentation. Please propose some ideas
for the design for feedback on the mailing list.
