i'm pondering announcing an open, bot-focused irc channel to play trivia to encourage people to bring their watson-like creations in and compete in trivia games.

thoughts? would you participate?

basically my thinking is welcome bots (and people, too, if they want) and have a month long tourney. some simple rules, like no disrupting other bots, no disrupting the channel and no hacking the brainiac bot are some common sense ground rules. beyond that ... well, if you can figure out the answer to the questions fairly and squarely and win more games than another bot then why not?
