[pandorabots-general] Form before function

[R. B. Chandler]

Doc,

I have more time than money.  Every person that re-does the AAA set or even 
just one or two files adds to a library knowledge others can draw on if they 
are willing to share that knowledge.  Pandorabots are by far the most simple 
to use and program bots on the market today.  The more people who are 
willing to spend the time building on your foundation may do more than 
imitate life at some point in the future.  With each new personality created 
a whole new AAA set is born and that offers the opportunity to others to 
pick and choose different personalities closer to what they envisioned for 
their bot or customer service agent.

How do you define a generic AAA set?  Whose answers (responses) do you use?  
My sex.aiml file will look nothing like yours.  Where is the common ground?  
There is no such thing as a generic set but there are things that can be 
done to make the AAA set better.  There are ways to create full AAA language 
sets.  I don't need to reinvent the wheel but I do need to replace a few 
spokes.
