[Melissa Draper]

Henrik et al,

I have now unleashed the bot into the channel.

It will work similarly to ubotu, in terms of people asking, rather than
it just randomly spewing info.

Commands for everyone are as follows:

.help		<-- this will make the bot list the general commands

.info topic	<-- this will make the bot search for information that
matches the topic name

.admin		<-- although a general command, it's not listed in .help

Admin commands:   

(at this time, admins for the bot are Luke, Henrik, Daniel Holbach and
of course, myself)

.addinfo "topic" information

.updateinfo "topic" information		

.delinfo "topic"

.addadmin name

.deladmin name

In the admin commands, topic is the keyword for the info, information is
well... the information, name is the nick of the admin. Also, please
remember to use " and not '

Fear not, all commands for the bot must be the first thing in the said
line, and they all start with a period. So in normal conversation, it
shouldnt be a problem, unless you like starting your lines with .info ;)

Thankyou Henrik. I'm just glad I can be of assistance. Since my sight is
still good, my opinion on alot of things will be irrelevent, however, I
am willing to help out with other things, such as the new channel bot :)

Melissa.
