IRC Bot For wikipedia using ruby

it is very easy with ruby as there is too many IRC frameworks written for ruby i used one of them, also i used my latest gem Askwiki for asking wikipedia and forwarding the answer to IRC as response

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'cinch' # gem install cinch --no-ri --no-rdoc
require 'askwiki' # gem install askwiki --no-ri --no-rdoc

bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
 configure do |c|

 c.server = "irc.freenode.org"
 c.nick = "Ask_wikipedia"
 c.channels = ["#cinch-bots"]

 end

 on :message do |m|
 if m.message.start_with? 'askwiki'
 query = m.message.gsub('askwiki','').strip
 m.reply Askwiki.ask(query), true
 end
 end
end

bot.start
