The Wikchatbot is a bot for creating logs of a IRC-channel and putting those on line automatically.

It used to make logs of the channel #nl.wikipedia and #deds (who offers the hosting for the logs).

It is written and controlled by user Wilinckx of the dutch Wikipedia. User Wilinckx has left Wikipedia and has taken the bot off line.

He is willing to transfer the bot. Those logs are considered a useful function and we would like to have them back on line.

The bot is written in perl.

I would like that the bot is hosted and operated by Wikimedia as a service for the Wikimedia projects who would like to have logs of there IRC-channels.

I can also ask it to my friends at DeDS.nl for help about this but it would by more logical that a service for a Wikipedia can be done by Wikimedia.

I do not know anything about the bot. You can contact Wikinckx about this; wilinckx AT belgacom DOT net
