Dennis was also kind enough to add me as a ubotu editor so I can add
factoids. So far it knows the following MOTU related factoids:
revu
gpg
pastebin
repos
apt-file
metapackage
backports
packaging
builddep
lists
pbuilder
motu
contribute
coc
bugs
mentors
We should check to see if those factoids are correct and useful for us.
We can create #ubuntu-motu specific versions if the general ones are to
simple/vague but are needed for #ubuntu et al. I'll try to add more
goodies over the next few days. Also, ubotu also provides some cool
features such as !seen <ircnick> to keep track of people and !info
<pkgname> <release> for info on packages. Hopefully ubotu will allow us
to be more helpful and consistent with our responses to common questions.
