Agreed. We need to figure out a good way to do better bot integration! (suggestions welcome)

I'd probably start with a configurable bot with a few predefined plugins (RSS feeds, version control / bug tracker integration, etc) and a configuration UI (similar to Github's Services hooks) Eventually you could add a way to define custom plugins that are properly sandboxed.

would be great to integrate with github

You should be able to use Hubot with Grove as it provides IRC interface. We have few users already using it.

One functionality I miss from HipChat that I haven't found here, is the ability to copy files from your disk and paste them to the chat (or drag and drop), where they get automatically uploaded so all the chat members can view or download them. If Grove gets that, I'm sold.

Unless I'm missing some detail of what you're saying, HipChat already does that. I regularly drag screenshots into a conversation. Hipchat uploads them to S3. There is a size restriction, though, which I've run up against more times than I can count, since I never seem to be able to remember that it's there.

I'd be interested to know how this stacks up against HipChat. I'm not sure what I'm missing out on, but it would be good to hear if there is something.

The major advantage I see with this over HipChat is that you can use existing IRC client software to connect. Personally, I'd much prefer Irssi in a terminal to an Adobe AIR product.
