Following up on this: we're happy to potentially host that bot / replace snowbot, etc. — I'm not sure how active Peter is with his bot, maybe not at all. Could you look into pulling in the code from snowbot into fpbot perhaps? Then we could just deprecate snowbot potentially. Right now, I think all snowbot does is provide optional missed messages log to known folks, and there's a never-deployed function for telling absent people something when they show up again… Feel free to redo / close / comment on specific items on snowbot's discussion page etc. Thanks for all your work! -- Aaron Wolf Snowdrift.coop <https://snowdrift.coop> _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/dev
