Well, I need to write the damned bot first. Might be a few weeks ;)
The easiest thing to do is to replicate the booknaut-bot functionality from reddit ... where you put a title in curly brackets, like {Cyteen} and it'll automatically query, link, etc. But, it might be interesting to do something more advanced with it, like try to detect all references to books automatically, across a post and all its comments, and keep the replies in a single comment. A good example is the decronym bot which lives on the Space related subreddits. I'll have to think about that one though - might be harder to implement without bombarding the booknaut website with queries.
No worries.
Agreed. It's familiar to those who have used it and is a simple enough format for new folks to easily see how it works.
Hmm, this does sound interesting. I wonder how many queries this would entail.
