Hey, thanks for the links and the compliment! I completly forgot about
including some information about IRC itself :)
I originally wrote butler out of need for a bot with good
multilingualization and a plugin API that didn't require you to write
basic functionality yourself.
For the future I intend to use the bot as a support tool in IRC channels
for my projects. Things like statistics, canned replies, announcements,
FAQ & knowledge bases and whatever you can think of :)
IRC itself is very nice as a direct support medium. You can discuss
stuff without the delay mails and forums have (though of course they are
useful too, especially if you can't manage to be online at the same time
with your talk partner or to reach a broader audience).

Regards
Stefan
