To Do

Version 3.0

• Investigate replacing DataMapper with ActiveRecord.
• Replace “logging: debug/notdebug” with “logging: [any level]”.
• !commands command.
• Drop *_filter requirements for filters

Easy leaf redistribution

• Redo directory structure so that all of a leaf’s distributable files are under one directory.
• Include a Leaf-global config.yml file that can be distributed along with a leaf.
• Add “shared” root-level directory for code shared among multiple bots.

Restoring convention-over-configuration

• Make the leaves.yml file optional; auto-instantiate all leaves by default.

The inexorable march towards being Rails-For-IRC

• Rename “support” directory to “helpers”.
• Create magic “models” directory for storing DataMapper::Base subclasses.
• Rename leaf’s main class file to “controller.rb”
• Add “views” directory, with ERb-ized text files named after leaf commands.

Namespace conflict resolution

• Consider initializing each bot’s classes in its own module; will this work? Force the user to do this?

Unscheduled

• Make !quit and !reload execute only once per stem.
• Support for other VCS’s in libs/generator.rb, such as Git or DVCS.
• Less network-trafficy way of getting the user list … Perhaps maintain an internal user list and update it as users are promoted and demoted.
