Projects:

• The Slack RTM (WebSocket) Bot is designed for anyone to extend via extremely simple plugins.
• The Slack Web API client library provides a simple way to integrate your code with Slack.

var slackBot = SlackBot.Create("bot-api-key").Instantiate();

slackBot.Start();

var slackApi = SlackApi.Create("api-key");

• You can run SlackBot without any plugins, but it obviously won't do much
• Core bot state is provided via Tab.Slack.Bot.CoreHandlers - these also provide the best guidance for how you can create your own plugin message handlers
• Core handlers are loaded by default, but you can build the bot using WithoutCoreHandlers() to disable them loading if so desired
• You can specify individual core handlers using something like WithoutCoreHandlers().WithPlugin<RtmStartHandler>() for example
• You can test the bot is running with core handlers properly by sending your bot a direct message "ping" - the bot should respond with "pong"

• Flesh out the slack rest client code to handle full set of methods
• Sort out default bot handlers
• Add error/connection handling to bot
• Logging
• Improve match extensions / logic
• Add parsing code to translate IDs to names
• Documentation / examples
• Sort out dire test naming and layout (partially done)
• Add some integration tests - potentially via a manual runner
• Add plugin config manager (with config file support for initial seeding)
• Sort out Docker/Mono CI
• Consider swapping out MEF with event based model and DI instead
• Add those little status icon thingys to github page
• Add scripting support (from @jachin84) - consider using Jint/ClearScript/PSHost/ScriptCS
• Add auth config and control (from @jachin84)
• Add support for webhooks (from @jachin84) - consider using Nancy
• Create Docker/AMI/ARM images for instant virtualised deployments (from @jachin84)
• Handle Retry-After header (https://api.slack.com/docs/rate-limits)
