What information should the Bot collect?

• Statistics

Other Suggestions

• [henrik] Query SUMO via the RestAPI for topics
• [henrik] Query Bugzilla API for specific topics
• we should incorporate some whimsical easter eggs (ex. silly response when telling the Bot your build ID)
• [Aaron] I want to periodically advertise what the sessions of the day are and who the mentors are as at least a minimal effort to continually broadcast and spread the word of mouth in channel. See Margaret's FennecBot https://github.com/leibovic/fennecbot/blob/master/tablet_tuesday/index.jsm, it advertises throughout the day
