@@ -17,6 +17,10 @@ there are basically two alternatives now:
* [KGB](https://kgb.alioth.debian.org/) - a Perl script that has been running at Debian since 2009
* [irker](http://www.catb.org/esr/irker/) - a Python script whipped up by ESR in the fall of CIA.vc (~2011), ignoring the existing KGB bot
-KGB is harder to setup ([tutorial](https://www.donarmstrong.com/posts/switching_to_kgb/)), as it , but more reliable than irker, in my experience. I built the [[plugins/contrib/irker]] plugin to automatically configure notifications with irker. --[[anarcat]]

+I built the [[plugins/contrib/irker]] plugin to automatically configure notifications with irker. I chose irker because it could be configured per wiki, without having to touch a central configuration as would be required for KGB.--[[anarcat]]
+
+There is also a public service named [Notifico](http://n.tkte.ch/) that aims to replace the defunct [CIA.vc](http://cia.vc/) but it still requires server-side software configuration, so I think it is worth it. Same for [Pursuivant](https://martinsandsmark.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/irc-commit-notifications/). There is also a plethora of commercial notification services which are obviously not covered here.
See also [[todo/ikibot]] for another bot idea.
