This bot checks a Trello board periodically and sends notifications of card creations and comments to an IRC chatroom. It works with multiple teams/chatrooms and can optionally ping a scrum master or team lead as a notification. It's built with Ruby and the Cinch framework.

- Better modularisation
- Use proper Ruby logging, not puts
- Add a procfile
- Test for processing changes
- Print board name when teams have multiple boards
- Make new ticket by title and get a link and number in return
I might just want to rewrite this all in Javascript soon ;)
- Dynamic polling intervals based upon board activity / time of day
- Elegant solution for when multiple teams follow one board
