Modular Google Talk Bot 1.3

Modular Google Talk Bot (gtalkbot) is a modular bot system for Google Talk and other Jabber IM networks.

It uses simple Python plug-ins that register verbs, which appear as the first word of an IM and result in another IM being sent back to the user. An example MythTV bot is included.

To run mbot:

- Write a plugin! There is a sample on in plugins/mythbot.py
- Create a password file at /usr/local/share/mbot/passwd

The format is:

< username >< tab >< password >

For example:

exampleuser@gmail.com banana

- Create a jabber or Google Talk account for the bot
- Start up mbot:

./mbot plugins < botaccount >@gmail.com < botpassword >

- Now you can IM the bot account, and off you go. Youll need to start off with a "auth < password >" to login to the bot
