PrizBot

Some of you have noticed that there is a new contributor to the wiki - PrizBot. Right now, I'm experimenting with PrizBot and slowly teaching him how to take over some of the more mundane tasks that we have on DOW.

The first task it will be taking over is automating updates to the Newsletter section. It isn't quite there yet (it can do the pictures, but I'm still adding the text for now, and Up and I are still working out some of the formatting), but expect more and more updates from PrizBot in the near future.

I don't really understand how this works. Is this PrizBot like able to post stuff automatically when the VMK website updates? Is there some kind of special code for him?

Yes. What it will be doing is monitoring VMK Communicator for changes to the newsletter and posting those changes to the wiki.

There is a program that is running (hence the name "bot") that does the work. Or there will be - right now I'm still training it. (It does pictures ok so far.)

Editors are still welcome to edit the wiki. Even to correct PrizBot if/when it makes mistakes. But its goal will be to take over some of the very mundane and routine work that can be automated and let editors work on other important parts. Right now, just a few people have been doing most of the work keeping up with the newsletter. This will give those people a little more time to work on other things that the wiki needs work with.

Could you have PrizBot look in the forum archives and upload all of the old newsletters? That is a "mundane" task that really needs to be done.

It is unlikely PrizBot will take on this task. The newsletter is (somewhat) regularly formatted and easy to locate. The posts in the archives are not.

Perhaps I'll consider it when all my other wiki projects are finished... like that will ever happen.

How about having PrizBot do an info dump of all the posts in the entire archive forum with some lines or headers in between, then have some humans work with the info dump?
