 Here it is folks. The bot tasks are sort of one person jobs so if you'd like to claim one of those just cross it off (add <nowiki><s> tags</nowiki>) and add your signature. For the other jobs just say what you'll do underneath the list and sign.

-'''Already being done''' (but we could still use help):
+(but we could still use help):
 *Watch for page creations and example additions and make sure everything has been done correctly (category links, templates, spam removal, etc.)
 *Keep the solutions by task page organized, create new categories as needed
 *Watch the Village Pump/talk pages for feature/page requests, arguments, or confusion and correct as necessary
-:*Can we have a bot watch the RSS feed and keep a section of the VP updated with active talk page discussions? --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]]
-'''Stalled projects''':
+===Stalled projects===
 *Rosetta wiki theme fixes
 :*It needs work to be IE compatible.  Other than that, it's ready to be default.
+:* <span style="color:red">Scrapped</span>. MediaWiki upgrades will occasionally break any MonoBook-derived theme. Word from developers is that that won't change.
-'''Would be nice''':
+===Would be nice===
 *Bot Commander (maybe Bot Master?), try to figure out how bots could be created and what they could do for us
 :*IRC logging bot (logs to the server, preferably on a wiki page)
+::* Requirements have changed slightly.  While any persistent logger would be desired, writes to a MySQL database would be more ideal. (Text and time/date searches would be the goal.) If it's run on Rosetta Code's linode server, it will need to have a very consistent, low memory footprint.
 :*Double redirect bot (not a very prominent problem)
 :*Programming example count bot (count # of uses of the "header" template), total and possibly per language
+:*See [[Rosetta_Code:Add a Language]]. Notice the several manual steps that should be automated.
 :*Site stats bot keeping track of things from the stats page and maybe making some Google charts out of it (this isn't particularly tedious for a human and [[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] will be doing this manually in monthly blog posts, but a bot would make it even easier)
+::*See Mwn3d or Short Circuit for a copy of the monthly CSVs.
-:*RSS feed bot (see the "Already being done" section)
 *Help with GeSHi
+:* If there is a language that's not supported by GeSHi, and you're familiar with the language, see [http://rosettacode.org/geshi/ AutoGeSHi] to generate a language file. Then email it to [[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] to have it tested, included, and added to GeSHi.
