+=== Design an IRC Bot to automatically greet new people who join the sahana-eden channel ===
+We don't want to miss new people who show up on our IRC channels! But sometimes we're just not
+watching the chat. So we want a bot that will:
+ * Send a greeting to new nicks when they appear on a channel. For this, it will need to record
+   which nicks it has already greeted.
+ * Ping a specified set of nicks when a new nick appears. (These would be nicks of people who can help with questions, e.g. for a project channel like #sahana-eden, ping the Eden PMC.)
+ * We recommend starting with Sean Palmer's IRC bot, [http://inamidst.com/phenny/ phenny], or logger, [http://inamidst.com/code/loggy.py loggy]. Afterward, you can offer your code back to Sean Palmer.
