Well, here I'm going to write about a great library that didn't get enough attention as it deserves, I mean Net_SmartIRC, is a complete library that conforms to the RFC 2812 (IRC protocol).
These days (and surely prior than this) existing an IRC channel for each OpenSource project is common and if you have ever tried being a supporter there, after a short time you'll have users from around the world that asks one question sometimes and you (or the other staffs) should answer that time to time... what would happen if you had a bot that sits there in your channel and answered those repeated questions or at least point them to the relevant Wiki pages?
This library is enough for writing a bot but there's also a great framework (phpbitch) that has more features to and writing new modules for it isn't a pain..
P.S: EFNet's #pear bot (PEARgirl) is on top of phpbitch

I have made quite an elaborate bot using Net_SmartIRC. It rocks. I am thinking of contributing code to the project.
