Bug#943404: O: sopel -- simple, lightweight, open source, easy-to-use IRC utility bot
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the sopel package.
I do not use Sopel anymore and therefore can't serve as a good
maintainer. I also couldn't find a good reason to use this instead of
more established codebase like Limnoria, which are seeing way more
development and third-party packages.
Limnoria is also well-maintained in Debian, so I am not sure sopel is
worth inclusion in Debian in the first place anymore.
The package description is:
Sopel is a simple, lightweight, open source, easy-to-use IRC utility
bot, written in Python. It's designed to be easy to use, easy to run,
and easy to make new features for.
.
Sopel comes with a ton of ready-made features for you to use. It can
leave notes for people, give you reminders, check RSS feeds, and much
more.
.
Sopel also comes with a fully-documented and easy-to-use API, so you
can write your own features. There's also an easy tutorial you can
follow along with, to help you learn.
.
Developing for Sopel is a great way to familiarize yourself with
Python. It's easy to start, but there's no limit to the cool things
you can do with it.
.
Sopel was also known as Willie, Phenny or Jenni in previous
incarnations.
