About

-----

Helga is a full-featured chat bot for Python 2.7 using `Twisted`_. Helga originally started

as a python fork of a perl-based IRC bot `olga`_, but has grown considerably since then. Early

versions limited to support to IRC, but now include other services like XMPP and HipChat.

Full documentation can be found at http://helga.readthedocs.org.

Supported Backends

------------------

As of version 1.7.0, helga supports IRC, XMPP, and HipChat out of the box. Note, however, that

helga originally started as an IRC bot, so much of the terminology will reflect that. The current

status of XMPP and HipChat support is very limited and somewhat beta. In the future, helga may

have a much more robust and pluggable backend system to allow connections to any number of chat

services.

Contributing

------------

Contributions are **always** welcomed, whether they be in the form of bug fixes, enhancements,

or just bug reports. To report any issues, please create a ticket on `github`_. For code

changes, please note that any pull request will be denied a merge if the test suite fails.
