[freenet-chat] noderef irc bot

[David McNab]

Hi,

The latest pyfcp (pyFreenet) now has a small experimental program called
'refbot.py'.

If you run it without arguments, it'll create an IRC bot which:
 - logs into irc.freenode.net #freenet-refs
 - announces itself
 - interacts with users who /msg or /privmsg it
 - accepts noderefs from users, and reciprocates with its own ref
 - detects other bots joining the channel, and automatically swaps
   noderefs with them
 - is hard-wired to quit after swapping 10 noderefs (we're not keen on
   ubernodes).

First time you run it, it'll prompt you with a few questions, then save
to ~/.freenet_ref_bot. Subsequent runs will just use this file and skip
the prompts.

Much easier than all that menial copying/pasting of refs between irc
client and browser

Have fun.

Cheers
David
