"Mutiny is what you get whan Pirates have Meetings."

This is an HTTP server implementing a web-interface for a single IRC channel, geared towards accessibility and managing structured meetings. It is being written for the Icelandic pirate party.

Quick-start:

1. Download mutiny-v0.1.py
2. In a console: python ./mutiny-v0.1.py BOTNAME "irc://irc.server.net:6667/#channel"
3. Open up http://localhost:4950/ in your browser

You should now be able to see what is going on in the channel.

Mutiny pulls all HTML templates and messages used by the bot from a some predictable locations, falling back to built-in defaults if nothing more interesting is found.

The default location to look for templates, media, CSS etc. is:

~/.mutiny/html/HOST/LANG/...

Where HOST is the DNS host name of the web server and LANG is a language code. Default values are default and en.

The file mutiny-XXX.py is combination of Mutiny and the non-standard modules it depends on. For hacking, you'll want to check them all out from github:

• Mutiny
• HttpdLite
• SocksipyChain

The combined "binary" is generated using Breeder.

• Does not reconnect when disconnected
• The web UI sometimes stops refreshing

A bunch of ideas by importance/feasibility:

• Twitter / Google / BrowserID+Gravatar authenticated sign in
• Invite-only or Authenticated-only channels
• Tagging/Starring/ThumbsUp/ThumbsDown for comments in the web UI
• Election helper
• Permanent logging
• Browsable stored logs
• Curation: Ways to extract and publish conversation fragments.
• Nickserv support
• Search engine
• Channels as RSS / Atom / ActivityStreams?
• Embeddeable UI for use as blog commenting engine?
• Rebroadcast Twitter / ActivityStream feeds
• Traditional bot roles: Banning users etc.
• Learn from: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology

Done:

• OAuth2 log-in/out: Facebook works
• Chatting
• Filtered view
• Auto-link URLs
