Slackbot for welcoming new members?

As in https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/12/15/how-bot-named-dolores-landingham-transformed-18fs-onboarding/, a bot would help people with Code for DC-specific orientation and help them figure out how to use Slack.

This sounds like fun. I'd be interested in giving it a go.

Hey @supineUnicorn, I'm not sure what the best way to implement this is, so I'm open to ideas. However, we might be able to accomplish this without a bot by making a locked default channel with some instructions.

This seems like awesome idea, for a ready baked project. I'm going to pull together the beginnings of a sample project to get this started.

Note to anyone new who's looking at this issue: This is not about the Code for DC website itself.
