| | OpenP2P.com -- Is Jabber's Chatbot the Command Line of the Future? |
 | | Despite the direction many OS's have taken in the past decade, towards a point-and-click experience (which is in many cases perfectly agreeable as a (G)UI), the command line, beloved by many a Unix hacker and perversely, by some MS Windows aficionados, is here to stay. |
 | | Available in source code from the Jabber CVS repository, ChatBot is an accomplished and useful bot, providing jdev room participants with useful information such as when someone was last seen in the room, a definition-style glossary of information on various aspects of the Jabber development world, and so on. |
 | | The first thing to do is to tell ChatBot which Jabber server to connect to, and with which username, password, and resource. |
