+#
+# This plugin is used to grab messages from eggdrops (or other bots) that link
+# channels from different networks. For the time being, a PRIVMSG echoed by an
+# eggdrop is assumed to be in the form:
+#    <eggdrop> (nick@network) text of the message
+# (TODO make it configurable) and it's fed back to the message delegators.
+#
+# This plugin also shows how to create 'fake' messages from a plugin, letting
+# the bot parse them.
+# TODO a possible enhancement to the Irc framework could be to create 'fake'
+# servers to make this even easier.

+      # and delegate it to the plugins

+      ## Another way is to create a data Hash with source, target and message keys
+      ## and then letting the bot client :privmsg handler handle it
+      ## Note that this will also create irclog entries for the fake PRIVMSG
+      ## TODO we could probably add a :no_irc_log entry to the data passed to the
