Basically, functionality should be added so that when the IRC Bot sees a ticket reference in the syntax of # followed by 1 or more digits that it creates the appropriate URL to get to that ticket and posts a message with that url to the chat.

This should support any ticketing service that uses numbers to match their tickets and has a URL to get to a given ticket given its number. Hence, somehow through the configuration of this app there needs to be a way to specific the ticket url and a placeholder for the number in that url so that when the bot finds a ticket reference it can simply replace the placeholder and paste the url.

More fitting in this case means is clean, well organized, explains the purpose and the general README stuff. For an example of this checkout out http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll. There is nothing special about the jekyll README it is just one of a huge number of projects that have what I would consider a decent README. Note: Installation and other things are broken out into Wiki pages as should archaics for cleanliness and organizational reasons.

It would be nice if there was a way to see context around each of the messages that matched the search criteria as well as a way to adjust that context as needed. So, for instance if I searched for something and found the chat message in history but I don't know what was said before or after that message. It would be nice if there was a nice javascript interface where I could click on a message that was found and bring it up in a model with scrollable context.

So, the modal would popup with matched message in the center and highlighted some how and then you could use the wheel to scroll up or down in history. There should also always be a way to jump back to the matched message.

Currently there is no pagination on the Messages View and it simply shows all the messages in the database with the most recent at the top. This should have some limitation to the number that is presented to the user and it should have a pagination to allow you to see the other pages of messages.

The channels which the bot connects to needs to be configurable at an application level rather than having to change code. Maybe this could be done via an extra initializer since in order to run the bot there is already a requirement of running it through rails runner.
