Design Documentation

[edit] Introduction

DragonBot is a hyrbid IRC/Wikipedia bot built to facilitate the analysis of useful statistical information on Wikipedia, and provide support in the maintenaince of pages related to the output of such statistical information.

[edit] Scope

DragonBot's scope is to get simple statistical information from Wikipedia. It can then use it's heuristics to perform simple analysis of this information. It has an Extensions module which would allow for users to program their instances of DragonBot perform more intensive tasks at their discresion.
