Description Nick Boldt CLA 2007-04-16 14:31:17 EDT 
An idea to extend the bot's functionality for interactive searching of newsgroups:

<irc_user> ~newsgroup eclipse.tools.emf genmodel generation
<KOS-MOS> Searching eclipse.tools.emf ... found X threads with Y messages:
<KOS-MOS> Extending .genmodel generation http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.emf/msg15375.html
<KOS-MOS> Why are "groups" being generated with genmodel generation from xsd schema. http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.emf/msg09257.html
...

Granted you can do similar things with:

http://www.eclipse.org/search/search.cgi?q=%22genmodel+generation%22&cmd=Search%21&form=extended&wf=574a74&ps=10&m=all&t=5&ul=%2Fnewslists%2Fnews.eclipse.tools.emf&wm=wrd&t=News&t=Mail

but this might be more useful for some?

The simple latter link blurting functionality has been implemented, lowering the priority to P4 since the barebones bit of this RFE is done.

Keywording as 'helpwanted' since parsing strings is always a pain. Probably will want the output feature to be usable only when talking to the bot directly given the amount of junk it is going to output, so I am setting this bug as dependent on bug 182601.
Comment 2 Scott Lewis CLA 2007-05-30 18:28:53 EDT 
Changing version to 1.0.1 Final.  Although a nice idea for enhancement, it isn't critical for/before Europa...especially since server side changes only.
Comment 3 Scott Lewis CLA 2007-07-22 21:04:17 EDT 
Setting target milestone to 1.0.3.
Comment 4 Scott Lewis CLA 2007-07-22 21:05:12 EDT 
Dependency is target milestone 1.1.0, so setting target milestone to 1.1.1 for this bug.
Comment 5 Scott Lewis CLA 2014-05-09 12:37:32 EDT 
Regrettably resolving as wontfix.   If committer and/or contributor resources become available for additional work on the bot API then please reopen.
