Hi all,

is there any effort underway to create an MS Teams plugin for Lita?

Cheers,
Ingo

Hey Ingo,

I also have an interest in this topic. Since the Microsoft Teams service uses the Bots Framework, which is initially written in NodeJS and C#. However, if we were to make a lita-adaptor for MS Teams, we'd have to use the REST Interface for Bot Framework. Upon reading the Documentation, there are some pre-steps that need to be taken into account.

1. Register the bot with the Bot Framework
2. Publicly accessible URL for the bot framework to interact with.
   
3. OAuth Libraries
4. Sinatra or some other web server (webrick)
1. Could also use Nginx/Apache for SSL/TLS negotiation
5. Possibly an Azure account?
   

I am working on this currently, but I'm not sure if I should invest the time to look into using solely webrick, or go with Passenger and Nginx/Apache to host the web service. I might need some more help and rubber ducky-ing about this.
