I would love play around with this concept together -- to use
git/github to clone, fork, and hack together our own
individual bots and try them out in real time together at the
next meeting. We could make them talk to each other, do spell
checks, wolfram alpha lookups, shorten URLs, fetch stock
performance stats, or any number of things.<br>

What do you think? Feel free to disagree.<br>

We hold Perl Mongers on the second

meet next on 11/13/13. It generally
