To-Do List on 23/05/2020

General actions

Rewrite the readme for this repository's current use-case.

(6, 2) #TODO The admin module needs to be more about channel house-cleaning, it needs to control multi-media presence and protocol checking
(7, 2) #TODO Shift all variable-setting and control functions interacting with brook.conf to here and brook.py
(8, 2) #TODO Give brook.py a way of loading the admin module automatically
(16, 6) #TODO Make $admin_cog_status a class method and have it check brook.conf for corruption at startup
(24, 6) #TODO $clear_bot_messages needs to be more easily controlled by admins, especially through brook.conf but also at runtime
(37, 6) #TODO $dump_user_list is of questionable value, ask why it's needed and then rebuild it for an output that makes sense for that
(60, 6) #TODO The $promote command can stay but needs to have its contents set in brook.conf for each guild/server it's used in. If not, have a default prompting the admin to set it.
(71, 6) #TODO $esperanto could be kept in as a template embed for admins to use as a promotional embed
(94, 6) #TODO $rook or b.rook Should output brook's current status including ping, loaded modules, set/unset variables etc.
(114, 6) #TODO The $poetry command can keep its nod to Rae, but it needs justification for existence
(123, 6) #TODO The corrupt data function needs to have a practical use - like reporting if there really is corruption in any of the files

(8, 2) #TODO Build out the Emergency class, there's scope for having subclasses for the different types of disasters
(17, 3) #TODO the $emergency_cog_status command should be a class method and should return the state of emergency level in the server location
(24, 3) #TODO Fix the web server to the files are always available or find a better CDN - the redirect issue is killing $aid
(25, 3) #TODO $aid needs the fuzzy search libraries built in as soon as possible - it's borderline useless right now
(26, 3) #TODO You have multilingual versions of the fact sheets, geo-locate or make multilingual usage more streamline - yesterday
(34, 4) #TODO Add a funnel layer to catch the broadest variation of synonyms to database entries.
(44, 6) #TODO I know this is a hack, need to change for i18
(45, 6) #TODO This just isn't picking up obvious matches
(50, 7) #TODO Mirror the St John's files on my server and add a 'pretty' layer for thumbnails
(56, 4) #TODO reintroduce the non-English languages in a future patch when you've figured out a more streamlined way to do this.
(82, 4) #TODO Geolocate for the guild region's emergency service's number.
(83, 4) #TODO Read those on fuzzy text matching

(5, 2) #TODO This Gaming module is a bit far down the list but consideration should be put into calling a limited instance of KGB_AFIRM in emergencies
(12, 6) #TODO $gaming_cog_status would be the perfect place to use the games analysis packages give a situation report to emergency workers
(19, 6) #TODO $dice needs to be brought into a class or extension with the rest of the monopoly functions, consider getting a licence and releasing it
(37, 6) #TODO the $roll function needs to be the basis for the heavy-lifting of multivariate situational computation - fix its architecture asap, the regex needs to be perfect
(145, 6) #TODO The $monopoly command is designed to keep an isolated human occupied and sane, tighten up the code NEW
(NoLine) #TODO Consider shelving current Monopoly code until there's a reason for it to be there

(1, 2) #TODO MUSIC MODULE The music module needs to be built from the ground up with the following goals
(2, 2) #TODO MUSIC access music information about what's being played by other bots
(3, 2) #TODO MUSIC answer questions about music in general
(4, 2) #TODO MUSIC access digital radio stations from as many parts of the world as possible
(5, 2) #TODO MUSIC ingest as many digital radio signals as is possible given the hardware
(6, 2) #TODO MUSIC find new hardware for her to access to ingest new forms of digital and analogue radio signals
(7, 2) #TODO MUSIC pass that information back to the emergency and gaming modules to add to situational awareness

(12, 2) #TODO Add these fuzzy search APIs for news topics and first aid (or at least investigate)
(18, 2) #TODO Research how to use classes to give secure control of the bot to future users
(79, 3) #TODO Update the other cogs to show something at least this meaningful with their status functions, maybe rewire them all
(132, 3) #TODO $qfes_pull needs an output, badly. Urgently. I need to plug in the python libraries they built for geo-spatial recognition

(22, 2) #TODO find a better way of including easter eggs
(54, 2) #TODO research the $is_me check you've regained your confidence in it and make it 'me' agnostic
(60, 2) #TODO The on_ready() event needs some serious researching and updating
(75, 2) #TODO Have the $extend being loaded here come from brook.conf
(76, 2) #TODO role protect $extend and DM those roles on load to remind them to do it
(112, 2) #TODO Fine to keep the $sync_ratio command public but make the numbers more meaningful
(131, 2) #TODO Make sure the reload_morale variables come from brook.conf
(132, 2) #TODO These reload commands should be put behind a role check

(170, 2) #TODO Make sure the reload_emergency variables come from brook.conf
(182, 2) #TODO Brook has ?help, change $Commands to a tutorial embed perhaps?

(224, 2) #TODO the $party_cleanup command needs testing and buffing
(236, 2) #TODO Make $playlist_me send a slightly more manageable chunk and make the output compatible with more bots
(249, 2) #TODO find what the Discord log is saying that's important and have it piped back NEW
(90, 2) #TODO check for already-loaded extensions in case of a failed load forcing multiple calls to the b.extend command
