Clojurians Log v2
spam-reports
Hi friends! Do we have a policy regarding bots in slack? We are wondering if we could put a bot in #datomic to identify common questions and turn them into http://ask.datomic.com or FAQ style material. There would be no spamming folks. Alternative approach could be reading the archive from clojurians-log or the zulip chat. Either way, we don't want to break any community rules and I thought I would check here after a quick read over of the code of conduct.
Sounds like you want a read only bot? Just to gather data? There’s also https://clojurians-log.clojureverse.org/ which is easy to parse - but looks like it hasn’t archived anything for 2 months.

So after you identify the common questions - where will you get the answers?We (the Datomic team) will answer them. Of course, many of these things are answered within the context of the original message, but there are often variations and slack is not google-able by the broader Datomic community. The idea is identify most common questions and create content for them. We have successfully gathered these metrics within the Nubank Datomic channel slack and already have some insights.
Hej Jaret, I think the Slack-plan only allows so many bots. As Zulip-admin (and owner of the clojurians-log) I’d be happy to help you out with some snippets fetching messages using the Zulip API.
Slack is also a bit “until they change their mind”, so probably safer to go with Zulip.
As for the policy. It is pretty restrictive, even if this particular bot sounds like it could pass.
