note: i'm writing this after not working on this project for 6 months
so i'm kind of figuring this out for myself
anyway
Pylon: an outgoing connection from wilson to some chat server/service
which could be "some irc server", "some xmpp server"
or "discord" (discord is centralized so there's only 1 discord to connect to)
(though you COULD have multiple Pylons for discord, if you were crazy)
note that discord's concept of "server" aka "guild" is unrelated to anything
Channel: a particular chatroom on a particular service
eg "#a on apionet irc" or "#general in some discord guild"
in the code, a Channel is identified by a combination of a Pylon
and a string 'channel descriptor', whose format depends on the Pylon type
for instance xmpp channel descriptors are jids, discord uses numeric ids
Bus: a family of connected channels that messages will be bridged between
Message: you know what a message is. it has a bunch of fields, which are
source_channel: the Channel the message came from
maybe rename to source
body: the string contents of the message
sender: the username (on the source service) of the message's author
TODO we need more info than that surely
