BrainzBot is the bot that logs our IRC channels and also handles some other things like linking to JIRA tickets whenever they are mentioned and helping us tell people we appreciate their work.

All of those different functions are implemented as plugins. Your job is to come up with an idea that would be useful for the MetaBrainz community and write a BrainzBot plugin to implement it.

The plugin documentation on Read the Docs isn't quite complete, so you should also take a look at how other plugins have been implemented (especially the jira and metabrain one).

You can test your plugin using botbot-shell so you don't necessarily need to have a full botbot setup.

You should write some unit tests to ensure your plugin is stable and can handle edge cases and things like unicode input.
