Using modified MeetBot

As part of my GSoC project I made some changes to MeetBot. If you want to use it you should:

1. Install supybot. This should be easy, on Gentoo just
emerge supybot
2. Get a copy of modified plugin. You can download it from GitHub. Or if you have git installed you can clone official repository:
   
git clone git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/council-webapp.git

   or development repository:
   
git clone git://github.com/ahenobarbi/Gentoo-Council.git
3. Add
   $(sources_directory)/bot/ircmeeting
   to your PYTHONPATH (or link it to directory in which you will run supybot).
4. Link$(sources_directory)/bot/MeetBotto your Supybot plugins directory. On Gentoo you can do it by executingln -s $(sources_directory)/bot/MeetBot /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/supybot/plugins
5. Configure supybot. Remember to enable MeetBot plugin:
   supybot-wizard
6. Configure MeetBot. In directory with your supybot configuration create file
   meetingLocalConfig.py
   and in the file put customized version of (please fix indentation):
class Config(object):
# Meeting management urls
voters_url = 'http://localhost:3000/users/voters'
agenda_url = 'http://localhost:3000/agendas/current_items'
result_url = 'http://localhost:3000/agendas/current_items'
# Credentials for posting voting results
voting_results_user = 'user'
voting_results_password = 'password'
# You must set this - it's turned off by default
manage_agenda = True
   there are some more options but those above should be enough to get started.
7. Run supybot and try out the bot:
   supybot $(your_config_name).conf
