IRC Slack Bot

Originally forked from https://github.com/rknLA/irc-slack-echo

Broke off the fork planning to customize it beyond what'd be useful to merge back for a simpler hybrid team/nonteam #galaxyproject communication bridge.

Setup

• Make sure you're running node 0.10.25+. Other versions might work, but are untested.
• Fork the repo and run npm install
• Create a new Incoming Web Hook on Slack (https://your.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook)
• Create a new Outgoing Web Hook on Slack and grab the token from it.
• Open the config file and update the parameters. Mostly, you need to make sure that the Outgoing Web Hook points at the server that gets set up in lib/slack.js.
• Update the Outgoing Web Hook with your server info and trigger words. (We use ircbot and !).
• Find a server to run it on, and node .

Note that the user map listens for IRC mentions with an optional @ character, and automatically wraps the Slack username in <@username> so that Slack sends notifications appropriately.
