It would be great if this were fleshed out a little. I see 2700 views... which are probably all newbies or they would not need this. I am just such a newbie.
But this is frustrating because it gets you close, but there are lots of little subtle open ends. If someone has already become familiar with hubot/coffee script they would be simple... but while you are first experimenting with it these little things mean everything.
Can you please include:
a pretty literal example of what the entire url should look like
how to handle common gotchas such as cannot query
can you please tighten up things like:
"for a channel you would have to send something like..."
The value of this awesome post is that it can help onboard noobs. But the above items are working against that. To recap: please provide specifics. If you have a friend who does not use coffeescript... watch them trying to work with coffeescript after reading your article. Documenting their trouble spots would be awesome.
