Hello people,

Am very happy to see JBot listed on slack.com (https://api.slack.com/community)

Guys, from the feedback of many developers, I have renamed the project from BotKit to JBot.

Thanks very much.

Guys, are there any Hacker News badges for Github?

For example, I want to show points on it and refer to this page when someone clicks on the badge.

Thanks, I got mine from a friend, I'll check if he have any invites left.

Are you still looking for an invite?

I got one yesterday. Most probably a Hacker News reader gave me one :)

Any reasons behind this thought? Mentioning the same here would help.

Example modified and released. Thanks once again for pointing this out.

Yes, was discussing the same with Botkit founder as well. Will change the name asap.

Thanks for letting me know. The example shown is incorrect as you can't reply to it. Because to reply you need to have a channel id in event object and slack doesn't send a channel id for file_shared event (https://api.slack.com/events/file_shared).

I will modify the example now. Thanks very much.

Thanks very much @staticelf

Yes, will change the name soon. Please suggest a good one. Was thinking of BotGear.

How about JBot? You could call him/her Jay for short.

Yes, JBot seems cool :)

I really liked JBot and was thinking of renaming it now and here's what I found: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=JBot

:D Surprising

I like JBot...

Other options: bot4j J4bot Botsdk (pronounced botstick) Bot devkit Chatbot kit Botlib

> Botsdk (pronounced botstick)

These kinds of things never work, people rarely pick up non-obvious pronunciations or abbreviations (look at nginx, SQL, or npm). So don't get too attached to the idea.

SlackerJack?

This framework will also be for facebook and twitter. So, a universal name would be great :)
