added @fight documentation
Zoia is the Code4Lib [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat_bot IRC (Internet-relay-chat) bot].
It was named after the famous librarian, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoia_Horn Zoia Horn], who is considered to be the first librarian ever to be jailed for refusing to divulge information that violated her belief in intellectual freedom.
The Zoia bot provides commentary, insight, support and diversions to participants on the Code4LIB IRC channel.
Documentation is sparse, incomplete, outdated, and occasionally only in the code of the bot's plugins themselves.
Some examples are on the [http://code4lib.org/irc/faq http://code4lib.org/irc/faq main Code4Lib IRC FAQ page] and more are listed below to get you started.
If you want to see a list of commandsplugins, you can ask Zoia directly:

Note -- if you are experimenting and learning about commands, it is a good idea to send private messages to Zoia directly (using <tt>/msg zoia ''[command]''</tt>) rather than directly in channel (e.g. <tt>@''[command]''</tt>).
Unless, that is, you want everyone to watch you experimenting.
Certain commands (for instance, ''tweet'') will only work if you have registered your IRC nickname with Zoia.
To do that, first send Zoia a '''Register''' command:
/msg zoia identify ''[IRC_nickname]'' ''[password]''
</pre>
''Note: Don't worry, "/msg" sends a private message, so no one in the chatroom will see your password. However, don't reuse a password you care about because IRC messages are not encrypted and could be sniffed.''
