Hi Milos, everyone,

I've started learning Python and the pywikipedia framework, and have
recently written a bot on Wikipedia ([[en:User:The wubbot]]) I am keen
to get more involved in Wikinews, and was considering working on a bot
to do similar tasks, so would be grateful for any help. I don't know
much about GNU/Linux, but I'm certainly willing to learn.
