Currently, the bot as no command to give the users the ability to allow them to choose specif courses. Instead, they can see every channel of their current year.

The idea is to make use of the Select view to list the available courses and let users choose the course channel they want to see. The bot's job is to then assignt to the user the permission to view the desired courses channels

When an Incoming student chooses the option incoming, it is being assigned to erasmus.

All the file structure paths in the code are relative to the directory the user who is calling bot.py is in. We would like it to be relative to the directory the file is in.

You can get the file's directory with this code: dirname = path.dirname(__file__)

Task:

• Update all parts of the code where we use paths to use this new format.

Currently, in case you want to test with different bots, the main or the clone, you need to manually change the variable name, or give the token directly to the bot in the main.py. The idea here is to pass an argument when executing main.py such as python main.py -clone so the program knows that the token to be used is the token from the bot clone. This can be easily achieved by using the argparse python library.

To allow for more contribution there should be a start-up guide for interested developers. Something along the lines of this: https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/pydis-guides/contributing/bot/.

The main steps/tasks are the following:

• Create a test server template (a link to create a minimal mirror of the BiCS server that developers can use to test. It must include channels, roles, and any other element that is used by the bot)
• Create a default config file containing IDs that can be copied and overridden by developers with their own IDs for guilds, channels, etc.
• Create a README containing the steps needed to setup the dev environment. This includes starting the test server, creating and inviting a bot, altering the config, creating a .env file, and the git workflow (forking, pull requests, etc.).

We can improve the README file for a better description of what the bot is and what the bot does.

Things to mention:

• How to use the bot. (in regards to the Discord server. for example; in which chat should the bot be used)
• What the commands do.

Currently the files are not very well organized. So the idea is to create a python package so that we are able to import all files from anywhere for example. This can be done using python setuptools.

We want to show to the student only the courses they can enroll to/unenroll from. For example:

• If the student is enrolled in bsp-1 and they use /enroll, they should not be able to enroll to bsp-1 again.
• If the student is enrolled in bsp-1 and they use /unenroll, they should only be able to unenroll from bsp-1.

Should we had a role?
Should we just put it inside the channel?

Currently, the only way of getting the year role is by using the /intro command. Nevertheless, this command only works one time, and it's only when a new user arrives at the server. Thus, the idea will be to implement a new command from which we can upgrade the year, such as /update_year. This can be done similar to the command /intro for instance.

When you unload a command, you can't load it back.

This issue needs to be addressed since incoming students are not supposed to be able to use these commands
