Issue description

I try to write simple python plugin for errbot to collect data about user from internal sources (ldap etc) Simple flow: user write to slack-bot command !myinfo -> plugin connect to resources and get data about user, parse it, return to user It is secure to protect other users info from this queue (for example, i need to collect data only about myself), so i need to get information about user, who trigger bot. I see this information in errbot.backends.slack Processing slack event user field in debug log, how i can get this data in plugin?

I think you're looking for the command !whoami. It will report the Slack attributes of the user that triggered the command.

Wow! You are right I need this info in custom plugin, so i can access in via "msg.frm.fullname" for example. Thanks for help
