Things we should implement, change or adjust in the bot:
create a new function reply(<event_object> event,<string> Message)1) to replace in plugin decision to reply in a channel or privmsg
check if the user is allowed to use a command (and allowed to use @ for public reply) within the core-bot, don't even waste resources executing the plugins if the user isn't allowed to. Needs a place for for configuration, maybe main bot config? Subsections for all desired commands then those override default settings, so you don't have to set anything for default levels, only to override.
merge EV_PUBMSG and EV_PRIVMSG into EV_PRIVMSG (closer to IRC protocol), if it's a whisper replace in origin $BotName with PRIVMSG – to be more detailed and maybe just implemented
less dswp and db dependent, maybe fall back mode where all users are admin lvl (just for testing purposes)
use python logging err, warn, debug and so on
on join pm people if there are new messages in their inbox (forum's)
introduce idle state after one hour of no chat
on return pm if there are new messages
!seen command, self explanatory
Wishlist (add your wishes here):
have a !news command that handles topic altering and/or maybe get news from the forums
