This is a Python bot built on top of the Discord.py framework.

TODO: Document the various bot features.

• .env contains private configuration values which are populated into the environment.
• conf.py contains public configuration values which are passed into various Cogs.
• bot.py is the executable entry point. It instantiates the various Cogs and starts the bot.
• mentor_requests.py tracks requests on Exercism and updates threads with current requests.
• mod_message.py provides an app command (or slash command) for mods to send canned messages.
• track_react.py contains the logic to react to messages with track-specific emojis.

exercism_lib is a symlink to this Exercism lib, which is used to fetch data from Exercism. Ideally, this would be a proper git submodule and the Exericsm logic would be its own repo, not a shared projects repo.

ln -s $root/python-projects/exercism.org exercism_lib

The dotenv module is used to load some configurations from a private .env file. Expected environment variables include:

• DISCORD_TOKEN: The bot token used by the bot to identify with Discord.
