FYI, video of demo of in-progress Skara work

[Martijn Verburg]

That's really cool - we had a bunch of bots working like this in the early
Betterrev experiments.

One of them was a mailing list to source code mapper so you could have a
bot ask "Have you raised a conversation in the following mailing lists?".

Cheers,
Martijn
