BridgeBot is an IRC bot designed to bridge infobots on two different IRC
servers, giving two communities access to each other's shared memory. (Assuming
their shared memories take the form of infobots.  Other bots might work, too.)
There are probably very few occasions where you'd actually want to do this - I
wrote it because the idea of having two classes, each a member variable of the
other, seemed so amazingly crack-fuelled (not to mention muppet-like) that I
couldn't resist.  </justification>

You could probably easily alter BridgeBot to be a one-way link (one end doesn't
join a channel, but just sits on the server and relays messages) or as a way of
passing messages between users of channels on different IRC servers/networks, or
indeed many other barely-useful things.

BridgeBot is released under the GPL version 2 - see COPYING for details.  Read
INSTALL to find out how to install and configure BridgeBot (some assembly
required, so to speak).

Enjoy!

NB In its current state, BridgeBot WILL cause floods - just as if you had two
infobots on the same channel...
