Hi All!!

I don’t write often, but this time I wanted to give a little shout out to someone who is doing a great job in the background that nobody is seeing yet, but will make a lot of things easier for using and improving the bots in #k/x/ubuntu-* channels.

That person is Elián Hanisch, otherwise known as “m4v” on IRC. He has been working on the new encyclopedia plugin for ubottu, as the old one was in desperate need of improvement. I’ve been seeing a steady stream of commits coming in (mostly through the CIA bot in #ubuntu-bots-devel) and I’m really pleased with the progress thats going on! The new plugin uses Storm to improve the back end for encyclopedia, which will lead to a faster bot and less strain on the system.

If you see m4v about, say a big thank you for working on this :)

Cheers

Jussi.
