To begin the meeting, the chairperson issues the "%startmeeting" command. This tells the bot to start logging. Next, the chairperson sends a message starting with [TOPIC], followed by the first topic to be discussed. For example:

{{{
<Seeker`>[Topic] Agenda item 1
}}}

This will cause the bot to log the first topic as "Agenda item 1".

As the meeting progresses, any people with suggestions should mark them with an [IDEA] tag. This will cause the bot to log the idea under the current topic.

If a vote is needed, the chairperson should issue a message starting with the [VOTE] command.

Moot Bot

What is it?

MootBot is a bot that has been designed to make the process of summarizing meetings easier. It is a modified eggdrop bot, running a custom script written in TCL. It picks up on specific text in the meeting, and outputs only the relevant pieces of text, producing an easy to read summary of the meeting.

How do I use it?
