.B gozerbot
is an IRC and Jabber bot written in Python.
.SH USAGE
A template configuration file ~/.gozerbot/gozerdata/config will be created when running
.B gozerbot-start
for the first time, or can be created in some other directory by running
.B gozerbot-start [data directory].
Once at least one valid IRC server or Jabber service for gozerbot to connect to has been specified in that file, running
.B gozerbot-start [data directory]
again will start gozerbot.
.PP
To perform further configuration, message your gozerbot on the IRC server or Jabber service to which it has connected, using the name specified in the configuration file (by default, gozerbot).  To summon gozerbot to an IRC channel, you will need to
.B
/msg gozerbot join #channel.
