Welcome to the Limnoria wiki!

Some history and useless things

About Supybot

Limnoria is a fork of Supybot, a great full-featured Python IRC bot, with powerful command handling, clean plugins, an awesome community.

For help about Supybot-related things, see Gribble's resources

About Limnoria

By the way: our channel is #limnoria at Freenode.

Why creating Limnoria?

Unfortunately, Supybot is a bit inactive, so I (ProgVal) forked it to have an active repository. I would be please if you want to contribute to this project.

Project's history

Limnoria was first called Supybot-fr, because its only feature was to provide a French IRC bot. Then, I added support for third party translations, and other contributors translated it in other language (see the available languages), that's why I renamed the project. Supybot-fr still exists, but it is now restricted to a French documentation hub, without any code repository.

What about the name?

Another great fork of Supybot is Gribble (a kind of worm). After making some modifications to the code, I merged all modifications made in Gribble. That's why I choosed to name this project Limnoria, because gribbles are a species of limnoria.

How to contribute ?

Contributing to the translation

We really need translators! See the available languages to get a list of languages you can start translating or help to maintain.

You can find help on translating here (pdf document) or on the IRC channel.

Contributing to the code

If you want to contribute, I suggest you to use the Github way: fork the repository (with the top right button), edit the code, and then send me pull requests.

If you do not want to do like this, please send me pull requests from your public Git repository by email. You can send me tarballs, but I do not like this, because I may have done some updates to Limnoria repository while you were working on your code...

Contributing to the wiki

For the moment, the only rule is: Do not create a page about something that is not specific to Limnoria. Gribble's resources are made for that.
