One day an idea came up on the #freepost IRC channel: We didn't need much of the serious features IRC bots provide, but we could develop an IRC bot collaboratively, for fun and for learning new skills and languages! I also thought this is a great chance for people to quickly see their code in real use, which is motivating when learning programming, and it's a chance to introduce Haskell to the community. While the bot is made for and by the Freepost community, it is fully intended for use any anyone else! For experienced Haskell developers, this bot can perhaps provide space for creativity and custom advanced plugins and features. Since this bot is meant for collaborative development while really running it, the running instance in #freepost is built from the git repository. Occasionally releases will be made to Hackage. If you want to be sure you have all the latest features, check out the git repository (and/or ask us to make a release if you think it's been long enough).
