Request : usage examples

[noraj]

Can you give some example of usage on the wiki? (joining an IRC chat, sending PM, etc ...).

[antdude]

Yeah, the old web site used to have all that. http://web.archive.org/web/20141218050209/http://ruby-rbot.org/ as an example. :(

Here is the original from the old site:
