User talk:PointyBot

There are a few things I need to fix on this bot before I'd be comfortable running it unattended:


 * Item names need to be cleaned up in the charts and image file names. That's fairly straightforward, but it's also a little bit fiddly.


 * The bot needs to knows how to upload images so it can happily run in the background. I had to upload the sample images so it's not really practical to keep them up to date at the moment.


 * Configuration files. The list of items to synchronise is currently hard-coded into the bot. I need to move this out into a configuration file so it can be changed without needing to change the code.


 * Error handling. This is my first bot so I've got no idea about the kind of weird issues that might pop up. I'll need to run it for a bit to make sure it doesn't fall over when strange things happen on the Internet.

If you have any thoughts about this let me know, either here or on my own talk page.
