Hello,
This morning the CIA-89 IRC bot started sending notifications in #mediawiki about unrelated projects mandriva and KDE.
I have not been able to find any documentation about this bot or any generic login / password to alter it. So I have just banned it :-D
Ban has been made against: *!*@cia.atheme.org.
According to folks on #cia, one hs to login on http://cia.vc/ and remove KDE and mandriva from announcing list.
cheers,
That's weird there is no recent log containing the messages from CIA, it probably happened during some network outage where log bots disconnected, the bot was probably confused because of that.

The user was probably op'ed and saw the messages, since CIA-* is globally +q (quietened) in the channel.
I don't even think it's possible to use them, since they only support svn

That is it, I was +o.
Is there any point in keeping the CIA bots in #mediawiki ? We might as well remove it.

And we still use svn. (although we don't use the CIA instance in #mediawiki to power codurr)

Wrong. They support all the big name (Distributed) Version Control Systems... or they have done until fairly recently, I think all the hooks should still work although mail -> cia.vc doesn't work anymore. I really should get round to doing my documentation update on cia.vc as I'm "support staff" or something like that there. If anyone wants to know how to manage a CIA.vc bot (so how the projects work, and how to manage what a bot shouts out), find me on IRC... I've already used my "staff" powers to fix CIA bots in various Wikimedia channels after some angry banned user has caused havock.

I don't see any need to keep CIA around anymore.

We don't use the the #mediawiki instance of CIA-* (it's been broken ever since we moved it out of #mediawiki and into another channel), The only one we use is sitting in #mediawiki-codereview powering codurr. I have no reason to see why that shouldn't sit around till the day we actually kill off the mediawiki repo in svn.

I removed it earlier today, after reading the Codurr source code, and seeing that the current person with access to it was messing with bots all over the place.

Thanks Lewis!
