It was a long time coming for this very simple plugin that reads messages from a directory — allowing  scripts and various automated processes to finally have their say in the channels. The plugin couldn’t be simpler: every so often (you decide), a directory is scanned for files, and if a file exists, it messages that content to that name.

For another look, I’ve also written a perl script demo’ing a possible human interface — but really it’s all about the robots.

The sayIt module was added to the botzilla repos today
