Wouldn't it be cool if DjangoBot talked back to djangopeople.net and provided a list of people who have talked recently.

To avoid any spamming, it could store up chatters for two minutes and only submit after that.. or something like that. Obviously you'd need some sort of private API, but I'm sure Simon would be cool with it :)

I was thinking about the same: it would be nice to be able to load a page and see the faces and real names of everyone who's chatting right now, instead of asking each one separately from the bot.

I don't quite get what the spamming problem is. The IRC log at http://simon.bofh.ms/logger/django/ seems to be real-time, does it have a potential spamming problem as well?

giving django people a bit of demographic info would be very helpful. Specifically:

irc_name number of lines written random quote from lines average time range when seen on channel etc

Fix in r70.
