Hubot Welcome

A hubot script for welcoming users to your IRC channel.

See src/welcome.coffee for full documentation.

This contains some code/logic borrowed from the excellent hubot-contributejson project.

Designed specifically for use with the hubot IRC adaptor.

Features

Will greet a new user who enters the IRC channel.
Remembers every nick it sees (even nick changes) and won't greet anyone twice (remembers over a restart as well if a persistent brain is used).
Discovers who's in a channel when it joins and won't welcome any of them if they rejoin.

In your hubot project repo, run:

npm install hubot-welcome --save

Then add hubot-welcome to your external-scripts.json:

[
  "hubot-welcome"
]

It is highly recommended that you use a persistent hubot brain store (like hubot-redis-brain).
