For Google Talk, Jabber, AIM, MSN, etc I use ERC + Bitlbee. Then I needed a bot to auto-reply people when I was not here. So I set up a dummy bot with erc-robot.el : http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/erc-robot.el Now this bot can also handle requests from a normal IRC channel, so when I'm there, people can send commands like: ,org-bmk : send or look for a bookmark about Org, GTD, etc. ,org-fortune : get a fortune cookie about planning, org, ... ,org-fortune+: set a fortune cookie ,todo : send me a TODO item (yeah, sick, I know) ,tell : tell something to the bot ,ask : ask something to the bot ,ggl : google around and return the first 3 results ,org-list : digg the mailing list [experimental] I hacked erc-robot.el a bit and the code for the commands is very unpolished, but I may put it somewhere if anyone interested. I also know that people use such a robot on #emacs, and their bot is certainly much more clever that this one, but I didn't have time to check this so far... -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
