Not funny.

You are entitled to your opinion, but this is infantile and uncalled
for.

I'm afraid this isn't an answer, but several times last week I almost
posted a similar query to DIG_REF. I'm interested in this response and
in any responses that would lead to a discussion of an OSS virtual
reference solution with critical-path VR components such as multiple
logins, statistics, transcripts, etc.

There is a program called bitlbee that implements a jabber/aim/etc to
irc gateway. If you used this you might then be able to use the
vast universe of free/libre IRC bots.

Re: [CODE4LIB] open source chat bots?

2007-12-03 Thread Andrew Nagy
Karen, we are building out a custom chat reference system with our new website 
redesign based on jabber.  Basically you will see all of the reference 
librarians who are logged in to the jabber server with a little picture/avatar 
along with their specialty areas.  The question is - who becomes the catch 
all - general reference librarian.  So we wanted to experiment with a chat bot 
and a reference script one of our reference librarians wrote up.  So if the 
student is totally clueless and doesn't know which librarian to pick - they can 
chat with a chat bot  or maybe we will hire Ms. Dewey!  Dunno if it will 
work out well - but something we want to play around with.  Then we could hook 
it up to our libstats implementation and automatically record all transactions. 
 An idea that we are just experimenting with at this stage.  I'll let you know 
when/if I get something up and running.

Andrew

 Andrew,

 Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but in ColdFusion 7,

Stop right there, did you say coldfusion?  I think I just threw up in my mouth 
a little. :)

I would rather something available in java, c, c#, perl, php, etc.
I was thinking about making my own - but I have too much on my plate as is so I 
am looking to hack something in the open source market.

Thanks
Andrew
