| The Eggdrop FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) |
|
Last Update: 14-Oct-2000 |
This FAQ was really written in 1998-1999 and so most of it refers to eggdrop 1.3.x bots. It was HTMLized and some things added and corrected in Oct-2000. But there are things missing and things that need to be revised to also support 1.4.x, 1.5.x and future bots. The idea will be to include a tag for each question/answer to tell to which eggdrop version it refers.
Another big thing needed to be updated are the links! I have not been actively into eggdrop development process the last year, so I miss the current links and email adresses of mailing lists, etc. (there are still some sodre.net links in it!!)
While currently these are static HTML-pages this FAQ will in future go to into database and be searchable, generated on-the-fly for different eggdrop versions, and probably maintainable by more people.
