Since I have been kinda absent from the community and all things renegade for a couple of months now, I'm beginning to think how to deal with projects that I had to discontinue while being absent - say BRenBot.
The next version of brenbot was supposed to be a major rewrite of the current code base, introducting an extensive plugin system, and an permission system, which is mostly done. It's overall about 80% done, and still needs major rewriting and restructing of code, and finding numerous bugs, like memory leaks. It's all in a big mess now, because I left in the middle of it.
I am looking for someone who is capable of finishing/maintaining brenbot as an external "contractor" to BHS, someone who is capable of programming in perl, and is experienced in using POE, the multitasking/multithreading framework used in brenbot.
I'm open to the idea of releasing the work in progress source code of brenbot, but I fear noone would focus on it, and people would just make up their own branches, and never release the source code for the community, that is why I am looking for someone to coordinate the future development.
Thank you for your time.

I not sure if anyone here knows perl to the extent you would, so I think it might be a loseing battle, though from your orginal coding I might to able to release a version of bugfixes and maybe a few new features. (I learn well off examples, thats how I learnt php)
While you have gone replacement bots have been made (None released though), but if no one can take this project on, I might have a go if you want.
It's a shame you left our active community, but wether those be personal or other reasons, i'm sure they were good.
I hope you have a good time with other communties in the future.
Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

Well, I have taken on this job as of yesterday. Funny thing is I have never seen this thread before or I would have stepped up sooner. Dunno if Mac wants more then 1 programmer on this though. I'll let Mac decide.
Anyway, programming is my job, and I loved Brenbot from the start. So I'll dedicate myself to this project to the best of my abillities, getting a stable 1.43 out as soon as possible.
