Don't know how these bots work but the Chat activity is already using
XMPP/Jabber when XO's are connected to Internet. So there is no need to
create yet another chat activity.

This is really great. One needs "group chat" function such that bot
can join and do the work. Though I haven't figured out how to do this
in pidgin. Just read about that Oliver modified a multi-protocal chat
client, InstantBird, for XO. Maybe it would be a good start. Anyway,
one can always use gmail chat function with Web activity for this.

What come to my mind is a bot for espeak. :)

This is awesome.  Coincidentally, I just spent a few hours last night  
experimenting with adding machine translation to Speak via Moses  
( http://www.statmt.org/moses/ ) but I was frustrated by the size of  
the phrase tables.  Having a service on the network for translation  
would be an excellent alternative.

I wonder about their terms of service, and whether they would be  
willing to provide this as a free service to all XO users.

multilingual googletalk

2008-01-25 Thread Todd Kelsey
Hi - you may already know about this but evidently as of mid december you
can now invite chat bots into googletalk, in order to have instant messaging
conversations with people in different languages. (widget version also
supports group chat).

I do not have the technical expertise to know how to implement gtalk on the
xo but would be interested in doing some tests or participating in a
multilingual classroom connection as part of my phd dissertation.
Multilingual IM on the xo would be a dream come true. Perhaps it might work
through the "integrated" gtalk in gmail or iGoogle. (I don't know as I don't
have my g1g1 yet).
