Currently the welcome message is hard-coded. It would be good to have the option to customise the message on a per-channel basis.

Use case: a group has a forum (or other means of communication besides email) that they want to inform newcomers about, in the event they are temporarily unavailable to respond in the channel.

I discussed the feature briefly with fr33domlover, and it might look something like this:

  • Have 3 config items:
    • $message (example name)
    • $contact (renamed from $email to take other values besides email)
    • $folks (existing node)
  • $contact and $folks can be inserted into $message
  • The message can be set via command, e.g. !set channels.[#channel].message [welcome message]

Thanks!
