Can You guys just release some result of work made by markus_heiden (I mean new epodbot release with his fixes) - then the people here will see the result of his work - it will be more easy for them to decide to make him a mod (the same way THE_STORM has been moded : first - release - then Councils made him as a mod).
Well, I have checked over the bot's developpment (I feel soo outta the loop cause I'm busy as hell, lol), but from what he says he seems to be a good candidate. THE_STORM trusts him, so do I. I vote yes.
I am currently refactoring some parts of the code which will definitivly not make it into the 5.1 release. The work I want to do (refactoring / bugfixes) is more behind the scenes instead of implementing lots of new features. When I am ready with refactoring / understanding the code fully (which will take some time), I will maybe add / improve some features.
