    It would be good to establish some standard commands which all bots can implement, allowing you to quickly find out all a bot can do without having to go hunting for it.
    e.g.
    botName@appspot.com /? //see /help
    botName@appspot.com /help //brings up a list of commands available
    botName@appspot.com /about //displays a summary of what this robot does
    botName@appspot.com /devsite //provides a link to the developer's site
    botName@appspot.com /mode private //the bot's responses are only shown to the person who invited it
    botName@appspot.com /mode public //everyone in the wave sees the bot's responses

    I think most of those should just be said when you ping the bot. It should open the ping wavelett and give you help/about/devsite info in there

    Good point - you can tell I'm more used to coding for the command line ;)
