Other bots we should "borrow" ideas from:
supybot http://supybot.com/
- horribly bloated plugin structure, each plugin has its own directory and 4 files (unit testing for plugins what)
phenny http://inamidst.com/phenny/
- inspiration for skybot, too much magic and not easy enough to change
pyfibot http://code.google.com/p/pyfibot/
- interesting, but lots of magic
rbot http://linuxbrit.co.uk/rbot/
- Ruby
- lots of plugins
pyirc http://www.k-pdt.net/pyirc/
- very simple, not multithreaded
- poor use of regexes, skybot has much better parsing, but it implements many more irc control codes
- can convert irc colors to vt100 escape codes -- should implement this
- autoreconnect
pybot
- can handle multiple servers, but not multithreaded
- ugly modules
- too many external dependencies
- attempt at NLP
