+    * integrate the pastebin with a callback URL post in a channel (first enumerate security issues and why that's a bad idea)
+  * **!bug %%<%%number>** -- reply with a summarized link to bugzilla, eg:   "Issue %%<%%number>: https://bugs.freebsd.org/12345 -- %%<%%summary>"
     * or even better multiline response: 1. Link + title, 2. summary
     * vary on "bug" and "issue" trigger keywords
-    * add autoparse-autopost capability in #freebsd-bugs, so whenever someone mentions "issue 12345" the bot would respond as if "!issue 12345" was called

   * In **#freebsd-bugs** post latest newly submitted bugs, link to and summary

+. Message parsing and auto-reply (plugin: %%MessageParser%%)
+  * In **#freebsd-bugs** the bot listens to any appearance of //bug (\d+)// or //issue (\d+)// patterns and then posts a link to Bugzilla with parsed issue number.
+===== Pre-beta testing TODO =====
+  * Security audit, make sure the bot is read-only except to authenticated users
+    * Some plugins are open for anyone like Alias and Factoids
+    * One solution is to set anti-capabilities per channel
+    * Another (find out how) is to remove all such default capabilities from users
+  * Decide if **channel-specific factoids** are sufficient for **!faq** or find another solution if we want those to be available to all the channels
