Begiak

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.

Begiak means "the eyes" in Basque.
