Telegram Groups Bot

NOTE: This bot is currently unmaintained, since I'm not using it myself anymore. If someone would be interested in taking over the development, let me know in #25.

This bot can be used to manage multiple Telegram topic group chats. In other chat tools, topic groups are known as "channels", but we tried to avoid that terminology because of the Telegram Channels that are something like public groups.

Note that you need a Redis instance on your server.
