IRCSpeakerBot
- A tool for connecting to IRC sessions you want to keep abreast of,
but don't want to read. This connections to groups and using speech
synth
literally allows you to listen into chatter on an IRC channel.

Step 2 - Run & Tweak the Examples
Many
of these require pygame or similar libraries. We're putting together
dependencies as we speak. You'll find the examples in the examples
directory.
You will also find a large number of examples in the
Kamaelia CookbookStep 3 - Start writing your own components
For the moment, see
this tutorial on how to go from non-component code to component codeStep 4 - Wire up your component to a new system
The best way to get started here is to look at the examples in the already
Kamaelia Cookbook mentioned.
You'll be looking at using a number of the
components from the reference area.Step 5 - Build something new
All sorts of possible ideas exist here - as inspiration please look here:
Our pages for our involvement with
Google Summer of Code have lots of ideas.
What's in the Release Candidate?
Well,
the usual slew of extra components and bug fixes, a variety of new
tools - from video shot change detection, through to SMTP greylisting,
but also perhaps the biggest extra:
Multiprocess & hence multicore support (experimental at this stage, but so far so good :) )
And
a large number of extra components - this is actually a lot more than
originally expected/anticipated. However they're divided into two
halves - new components and components from applications merged into
the repository. (the latter means that you can take parts of random
Kamaelia applications and embed them in other random Kamaelia
applications. As a result...
New Components:

All of this also totally ignores the new examples & new Kamaelia based apps.
Also a new website is coming soon, but time ran out :-)
