+I run the Discord bot from my laptop. It requires the discord Python
module available in PyPi and installable like:
$ pip3 install discord
-I don't have details on how I set up my own Discord bot and/or invited
-it to my server but I hope you'll add to this file as you do this and
-figure out what needs to happen.
+Setting up the Bot
+=====================================
+
+The documentation for the `discord` python package
+(https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/discord.html) does a good
+job explaining how to set up a Discord bot with your server. Follow
+the steps there, with one important exception:
+
+1. On the "Bot" tab in the discord application configuration page you
+need to enable both "Privileged Gateway Intents." This allows the bot
+to see who is present and active in the channel.
+
+Finally, you need to copy your bot'ss Token (also found on the "Bot" tab)
+into coldcallbot.py. Pass it as the argument to `ccb.run()`.

Using the Cold Call Bot
======================================
You need to start the bot from the laptop each day. I do that by:
- $ ./coldcallboy.py
+ $ ./coldcallbot.py
The bot will run in the terminal, print out data as it works including
detailed weights as it goes, and it will record data into files in the
`myuw-COM_482_A_autumn_2020_students.csv`) which is described
above.
+ To run this script, you will need to create the following subdirectories:
+
+ data/case_grades
+ data/case_grades/student_reports
+
+
One final note: A bunch of things in these scripts assumes a UW 4.0
grade scale. I don't think it should be hard to map these onto some
other scale, but that's an exercise I'll leave up to those that want
