manifest is at http://hb-bot.appspot.com/hb-manifest.xml

or use this wave to try it out:

https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252Bzrm6ZdEuM

done ;]

I made a gadget (well more converted an old one) that allow for
registration of feeds to a wave with a single command .. register. In
the gadget you can type 'register <feedname> <url>' and have the feed
registered and started, so its only a one step thing now. I'm sure the
gadget its not what you would have created as its just a frontend to
the bot commands stuff.

I use a seperate poller gadget now (also loaded into the wave at
"invite" time) that polls the bot every 10 sec for output. Looking
forward to the new API so i can get rid of this as it clutters my logs
;]

Much thnx for the feedback Pamela i very much appreciate it as it puts
me on the right path, if you have any more comments please let me
know.

On a last note i want to say that the bot not only works in a wave but
also on jabber, just use the register command in a PM with the bot or
use the hb-start <feedname> command if the feed already exists.

Ow and the code is at http://hb-bot.googlecode.com ;]
