Where to start
The best place to start learning about mozbot is the FAQ, followed by asking us on IRC (specifically, #mozwebtools on irc.mozilla.org).
Note that if your question is "waah, it won't connect, it asks if I am sure it's a valid host" then you should please read the relevant question in the FAQ.
Mozbot news

- Mozbot 2.4 is out! Things to look for since the last release:
- The KookBot module ("Think about the tyranny, malignant and unjust, and how it compares with truthful rational approach.").
- An XML Logging Module (see the sample output).
- A Conversion module (for converting hex to decimal, Fahrenheit to Centigrade, and so on).
- A Magic Eight Ball module.
- Mozbot now checks to see if it really joined a channel instead of blindly assuming it has.
- Added friendliness in the Infobot and Greeting modules.

- Lots of activity over the past few weeks, in preparation for the release of mozbot 2.2! Highlights: Stocks module, !seen, lots of bug fixes. There's lots more to come, but they need reviews.
