Automatic or Manually assisted: Automatic, unsupervised
Programming language(s): PHP ( Peachy)
Source code available: Yes
Function overview: This task is intended to replicate the functionality of the approved, but inactive, SQLBot-Hello.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): BRFA of SQLBot-Hello
Edit period(s): Runs every minute fifteen minutes, only logs in and makes edits if a user needs to be welcomed.
Estimated number of pages affected: A couple of dozen pages per day.
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes, although not really applicable (bot will only work on pages that it creates, so none of them will be excluding bots)
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): No
Function details: This task is intended to replicate the functionality of the approved, but inactive, SQLBot-Hello. The code has been completely rewritten due to copyright concerns (the source code of SQLBot-Hello was released under a very permissive license, but it was deleted by SQL, which could be seen as a withdrawal of that licensing), but the functionality is almost identical to that of SQLBot-Hello. As with SQLBot-Hello, this is different from other frequently-denied welcoming bots because it only welcomes specific users, and only if the account creator opts in to this. Account creators will be allowed to choose between a number of templates (currently a dozen or so, but I'm happy to add more on request) and input their signature, so the bot will give a more personal welcome using the creator's signature. The bot will only welcome users if their talk page is blank, so if they have already been welcomed by someone else the bot will just skip it.
Have the ACC tool admins (or other people involved in ACC) commented anywhere recently on this task? MBisanz talk 04:12, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply
Trial is going mostly well, except for a bit of an issue with edit summaries at the start. There was also a bit of an issue with escaping of HTML tags ( [1]) but that was fixed ( [2]). - EdoDodo talk 22:02, 19 August 2010 (UTC) reply
Just ran a code review; have a few improvements here: http://soxred93.pastebin.com/i1NeqDif

Would be nice if someone could take a look at this. The trial finished a week or so ago, and went smoothly, except for a few bugs which were quickly fixed. The framework this bot uses,
Peachy, has just gone out of beta, with version 1.0 being released, so the bot is now running with a stable framework. A lot of account creators are eager to have this bot up and running, so it would be nice to have it approved. -
