begiak is the irc bot in the #apertium irc channel. Its primary function is to report svn updates to various relevant repositories, but it serves some other purposes too.

Background

Begiak was set up by conor_f for GCI 2012. It runs on apertium.vm.bytemark.co.uk. The code base is the mutantmonkey port to python3 of the phenny bot. Our codebase is currently hosted by Jonathan in his github.

Begiak means "the eyes" in Basque.

Repositories monitored

The following svn repositories are monitored by begiak. Begiak polls for updates when it receives a ping from the server. Also see below for some ways to manually update

AI Features

Begiak recognises the following commands.
