Zulip). +* Currently, the use of DefaultConfigMixin is not the best solution for + configuration. Implement a solution so that other orgs won't need the +* Mixin while configuring their plugins. +* Convince at least one other organization to use corobo in their chat room. +* Implement/Modify plugins to make handling of events like GCI/GSoC easy. + +``` +Eg: +>corobo set current event GCI +@/all, GCI has been started, so you can’t assign GCI related issues until the +event ends. +``` + +#### New plugin ideas: + +* Plugin for corobo Usage Stats. +* Congratulate people who have their first commit merged. +* Listen for invite acceptance and provide more info based on that. +* Plugin for voting. +* All short and partial issues/PR URIs. +* Plugin to remove labels from issues. +* Announce unmerged PR closes on the most appropriate room. + +``` +Eg: +>corobo remove label area/gci from coala/corobo +@user, successfully removed area/gci label from 10 issues in coala/corobo +```
