Zazu is an experimental IRC bot that does nothing interesting yet. And probably will never do.

From the root folder, fire up a Erlang shell and build Zazu:

> make:all().

spawn it:

> Bot = zazu:start(tcp, "irc.freenode.net", 6667, "zazu").

this will spawn a new VM process and save it into Bot. From now on you can execute ad-hoc IRC commands:

> zazu:do(Bot, "join #ye").

For an SSL connection:

> Bot = zazu:start(ssl, "irc.freenode.net", 6667, "zazu").

The same way, you can spawn as many bots as you like and operate them from the same shell.

• Announcing updates on dashing dashboards.
• Easily extended: you can easily add your own command handlers, see zazu:handle_msg/4. Just pattern-match as you wish :)
• Supports SSL.
• Process-based. From the same shell you can spawn as many bots as you like and administrate them at the same time.

I'd be more than happy to see issues reported, pull requests opened, wiki pages added.
