[Dev] bots

[Mike Taylor]

Ted asked me to summarize some of the features mozbot offers.  To be 
honest it has a *ton* of features (implemented as modules) but I'll 
cover the ones I think are of interest to OSAF.

At anytime you can request help from mozbot and it will respond with a 
list of modules that are loaded and what keywords are available.

The modules that are currently loaded on the test bot (nicknamed 
'opus') are:

Bugzilla - responds to requests about bugs.  It will reply to a query 
in the form 'bug ####' with the information and status of the bug that 
corresponds to that number.

Tinderbox - checks the status of the Tinderbox and returns the result.  
All trees can be checked with the 'trees' command or a terse report can 
be returned using the command 'qt' (which is synonymous to the 'trees 
terse' command.

Infobot - keeps track of factoids and returns them when presented with 
a question.  To set a factoid, you tell the bot something in a 
declarative form: 'apples are fruit' or 'apple is a company'.  To find 
out about the factoids ask the bot a question: 'what are apples' or 
'apples?' - the bot will respond with any factoids that match.

Spell - checks any word that is followed by '(sp)' or '(sp?)' for 
spelling.
