I like the bot since it gives useful information on the commits, issues, etc. Still I agree that when doing a release or even when trying to work on design wiki I always feel guilty that I'm disturbing people.

Now if we create this separate channel, we need to document it, on the IRC page on xwiki.org and even/maybe in the #xwiki channel title/description.

I'm +1 for the moving of the Bot.

Thanks, Caty

Hi devs,

I think we’ve reached the point when we need 2 IRC channels: * one for users and devs discussions (“xwiki”) * one for notifications (“xwiki-notifications”)

There are too many notifications right now to be able to have unobstructed conversations on IRC.

Note that ideally this will require modifying the IRCBot application so that some Botlets are on the main “xwiki” channel (like the the jira botlet that gives the full URL of a jira issue) and the others on the “xwiki-notifications” channel. However, FTM I’m proposing to configure the IRCBot to use the xwiki-notifications channel exclusively.

WDYT?

Thanks -Vincent

It seems that now, the history of the #xwiki IRC channel isn’t logged anymore (see : http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/IRC/#|t=ircarchives&p=1&l=10&s=doc.creationDate&d=desc). I know that the migration of the IRCBot from #xwiki to #xwiki-notifications should be made progressively (as said in http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Proposal-Create-a-separate-IRC-channel-for...), but we’re actually losing the history of our conversations on #xwiki.

You’re absolutely right… that’s an issue I had forgotten about :(

I’ve moved the bot to xwiki-notifications but by doing so I’ve also moved the log archiving since it was done by that bot.

So this means some work to make this possible. I’ll need to look at the Bot code to see what’s the simplest for this (either allow the ircbot app to connect to several channels or allow the ircbot app to be installed in different spaces and run 2 bots).

I’ve been looking at the ircbot app code and I think what needs to be done is the following: * Make it support several bots instead of one. Instead of "@Inject private IRCBot bot”, use “@Inject private MultiBotManager multiBotManager” + change APIs * Allow having several Bot config xobjects (one per bot) on the ircbot config page (ie. IRC.IRCConfiguration) * Internally use the PircBotX MultiBotManager (http://thelq.github.io/pircbotx/latest/apidocs/org/pircbotx/MultiBotManager....) * Add a new config data for IRCBotListener which corresponds to the ids of the Bots for which the listener must be active. So both on the Java side and for the IRC.IRCBotListenerClas xclass. * For the moment start/stop all bots together. This is not trivial (probably requires 1 day of work total) but I don’t see any other option right now if we wish to continue to split the bot into 2. Unless someone has a better idea, I’ll try to go for this in the coming days. Thanks -Vincent

Thanks for raising this problem! -Vincent
