Ground One

[tk3369]

The HoJBot has been live for a while now but we have never tagged the code or formally call it a release. By now, it has reached to some level of maturity and provide several very important functions for our members. I would like to take this chance to tag the release now as v1.0.0.

At this point, we have the following features:

1. Julia documentation (j command)
2. Reactor (automatically react to messages with emoji's)
3. Discourse search (discourse command)
4. Investment game (ig command)
5. Whistle blower (auto-moderation based upon user reports via emoji)
6. Timezone conversion (tz command)

Credits

I would like to call out and thank @rmsrosa, @Azzaare, and @arubhardwaj for their contribution. @rmsrosa is the mastermind the julia doc command. @Azzaare refactored the code with an extensible structure for command handling, and he added opt in/out feature for reactor. @arubhardwaj contributed some words for the reactor. I was responsible for other functionalities and bugs :-)

I also want to thank @mkschulze, @jakewilliami, and Scott P Jones for helping with testing and code reviews, and @Azzaare for contributing a virtual private server (VPS) to host the bot.

Notes

I was going to put "Ground Zero" in the title but realize that Julia uses 1-based indexing. Never mind.
