(x2i) extra typewriter alphabets about conniebot HOT 6 CLOSED

I could implement these if you're still interested. Probably not Analphabetic, but I could definitely manage the other ones.

Another one we could try to target is Praat's notation, which is unique in that all non-ASCII symbols have representations starting with \, except for ‖ which is ||.

from conniebot.

Praat's notation was added in v3.6.0. Another notation that has been requested is something akin to APIE but for Proto-Semitic. So far the informal standard we have is

• /p t k b d g/ -> *p t k b d g

• /t. k. 7/ -> *ṭ ḳ ʼ

• /w y l m n h z/ -> *w y l m n h z

• /t- d- x/ -> *ṯ ḏ ḫ

• /s1 s2 s3/ -> *s₁ s₂ s₃

• /t-. h. g. s. l. c/ -> *ṯ̣ ḥ ġ ṣ ṣ́ ʻ

• /a i u/ -> *a i u

• /a: i: u:/ -> *ā ī ū

from conniebot.

If we're adding potentially a lot of different alphabets, it might be good to add a help: field so the help text would be something like:

{intro, x/help, x/invite, etc}

x/alphabets -- check which alphabets are available

{invite, etc}

and then when you do x/alphabets

X-SAMPA `x[]` -- <link to x-sampa wiki>
Z-SAMPA `z[]` -- <link to z-sampa wiki>
...

which is all dynamically built.

Another thing to consider is using the slash commands to make it more visible.

from conniebot.

I'd rather not use slash commands, in part for practical reasons -- all the servers where beberkonnie is already present invited it with scope=bot, but slash commands require scope=bot%20applications.commands.

I am in favor of the change to the help menu you suggested, though.

from conniebot.

Fair enough, though we could always gracefully degrade for permissions. Unsure if there's an "upgrade" action for permissions…they could always reinvite the bot.

I'm going to close this issue since more alphabets have been added. With the introduction of @mszegedy's ASCIIPA 2 (currently only on the dev branch), there aren't any more requested alphabets that could feasibly be implemented.
