This is a plugin for Limnoria, a bot framework for IRC. It is designed to help run meetings on IRC. It was originally written for quarterly board meetings at HCoop, when Ken was on the board there.
The code is based in part on the MeetBot plugin for Supybot written by Richard Darst. Supybot is the predecessor to Limnoria. Richard's MeetBot was "inspired by the original MeetBot, by Holger Levsen, which was itself a derivative of Mootbot by the Ubuntu Scribes team". So, this code has a relatively long history. For this version, much of the plugin was rewritten using Python 3, but it generally follows the pattern set by Richard's original code. See NOTICE for Richard's original license.
See the user documentation for more information about how to use the plugin, including installation instructions.
Developer documentation is found in DEVELOPER.md. See that file for notes about how the code is structured, how to set up a development environment, etc.
