[Sugar-devel] A bot activity for sugar

[Jameson Quinn]

I definitely like this idea. It is a fun way for kids to provide information
services such as technical support. I would give it a simple eliza-like
engine and let the kids go crazy with it.

Of course, should you be accepted for GSoC, your primary responsibility
would be to your project...
