Valentin Lorentz 63eb6672ea Revert generic 'The Limnoria Contributors' in copyright notices
This commit reverts db7ef3f025
(though it keeps the year updates)

After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention
copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright
explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright.

As db7ef3f025 only replaced mentions
of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs
to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.

Documentation for the News plugin for Supybot

Purpose

A module to allow each channel to have "news". News items may have expiration dates. It was partially inspired by the news system used on #debian's bot.

Usage

This plugin provides a means of maintaining News for a channel.

Commands

add [<channel>] <expires> <subject>: <text>

Adds a given news item of <text> to a channel with the given <subject>. If <expires> isn't 0, that news item will expire <expires> seconds from now. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

change [<channel>] <id> <regexp>

Changes the news item with <id> from <channel> according to the regular expression <regexp>. <regexp> should be of the form s/text/replacement/flags. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent on the channel itself.

news [<channel>] [<id>]

Display the news items for <channel> in the format of '(#id) subject'. If <id> is given, retrieve only that news item; otherwise retrieve all news items. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

old [<channel>] [<id>]

Returns the old news item for <channel> with <id>. If no number is given, returns all the old news items in reverse order. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

remove [<channel>] <id>

Removes the news item with <id> from <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
