Distribution

So, a few things need to be thought about here. Let's split this up into platforms.

Linux/OSX/BSD/etc

• Configuration in /etc (ini format?), containing:
  • Location of plugins (/var/lib?) - both for the bot itself and plugin manager
  • No need for this to be separate between instances, I think
• A set of directories containing configuration and data files for each bot instance
  • This would probably be in /var/lib, unless someone can correct me on that
• PID files in /var/run
• We should probably support some of the popular init systems for single-instance setups
  • systemd
  • Upstart? It's officially dead, so maybe not
  • init.d
  • Not sure what else exists

    Windows

Probably going to want to keep this self-contained? We could store things in AppData, but that seems like it'd just be a pain. Needs more discussion.
