Usage

Post one of the following chat message into each of the channels that you would like to bridge:

  /add

or

  /add a-bridge-name

Bridgin handles multiple bridges with multiple channels each.
There is currently no limit to the number of channels that may be bridged (!UAYOR!).
To create a another discrete bridge, repeat as above with a distinct bridge name.

  /add another-bridge-name

Caveats

  • Local pidgin/finch user is the only admin and may chat on individual channels as usual; but messages will not propagate to other bridged channels unless properly prefixed.
  • Although bridges and channels are persistent across restarts; messages can only be relayed to channels with an open pidgin conversation window.
