For what it's worth, I'm interested in having alternative project-list tools that
more or less
cooperate.
But I really think the project data should be editable on-wiki, for various reasons (one
of the
larger reasons is that tags should be flexible and easy to change, another is that if some
authors
don't post their information, and I'd like to add it myself from the Apache logs,
if only to get the
ball rolling).
To try to make the on-wiki data easier to access, I've made TSTOC able to dump its
data. Running
this will print to STDOUT the on-wiki data in a format like Leon's ~/.projects/.
/home/interiot/public_html/cgi-bin/tstoc --dump [--purge]
I would be happy to tweak anything regarding data dumping to accomodate any use of the
dump.
Again, the data comes from
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolserver/TStoc, and it's
recently been
changed to a format that's hopefully more accessible and easy to use (thanks for the
suggestion,
Nichtich).
