Not sure if bitbucket's API quite lets us do all of this, but:

If we had a devbot script to create a new repo, it would allow us to automate a bunch of repo setup, to help ensure it happened.

• create a repo under the uon team (i.e. ensure i doesn't accidentally get created under a personal account)
• automatically add branch permission settings (i.e. requiring pull requests to merge to master / develop)
• theoretically could do an initial commit, including a .gitignore based on the kind of project (.NET / PHP)
• prevents the current "need" for the repo creator to remove their individual repo rights in favour of group permissions

I'm thinking the devbot command takes repo name and optional project name to begin with

e.g. devbot repo biobanks [biobanks]

If a project name is omitted, the new repo will go in Bitbucket's "Untitled project"

• Add redis container

• Add Hubot-Redis-brain

This external script should suffice:

It is possible that certain devbot features need to be only available to specific member of the slack team. This plugin allows this.

https://github.com/hubot-scripts/hubot-auth

We want a script to randomise features of our afternoon walk break.

• which direction to walk (clockwise / anti-clockwise)
• which staircase to use going and/or up
• triggered manually? or from slackbot's "walk" reminder?

Ideally i guess this should be made into a generic configurable "randomise things from a list, or several lists at once" script, so bonus points for doing it that way and making it reusable in the wider world. We could probably npm that, unlike a script that explicitly randomises staircases in our building.

A few planned features will require devbot to be able to access internal only services so will need to be moved to sit within the internal network

me: devbot docs biobanks
devbot: biobank docs are here: dev-docs.nottingham.ac.uk/biobanks-docs

Can use the rancher API to query the dev-docs stack and returns similar named services

Investigate available external dice roll scripts.

If there are any good ones, simply add. Otherwise modify or write a new one that better fits our needs.

Should be a case of just adding and configuring https://github.com/barmstrong/slack-tipbot

View data from caniuse.com in Slack.

I'm pretty sure slack integration doesn't require half the environment variables anymore, so we should determine which ones we can remove, and chuck them from the dockerfile.

I have a nice shell script to do this on the machine where devbot is currently hosted. It passes all the environment variable values (cos I haven't set them as actual environment variables).

It might be nice to put the script in source control :\ (with the variable values missing ofc).

devbot random walk definitely has this problem.

This was a cool idea I had that is a WIP.

devbot should respond to messages that contain a reddit path such as /r/gifs with an actual link to the relevant url e.g. https://reddit.com/r/gifs

suggestions for supported links:

• /r/<subreddit>
• /u/<user>
• /m/<user>/<multireddit>

The reddit-links branch has a reasonable implementation of this, but that currently sends devbot into an infinite loop, as it appears to respond to it's own messages (which of course contain the trigger e.g. /r/gifs). The Slack adaptor is supposed to prevent bots responding to their own messages, so who knows what's going on here.

Needs some content...

the walk script should be able to check the weather and suggest an umbrella.

god knows how this fits into the generic configurable dream at this time...
