Fantastic!
Thanks to all your work behind the scenes.
Is WMF planning to make a public media announcement about this. This is a significant development and a great media opportunity for helping expand active participation from the developing world.
Let me know - once WMF have made their media announcements - I'd like to get COL's communications team to get some media coverage on this as well.
Cheers Wayne

I'm happy to announce that as part of an ongoing partnership between the Wikimedia Foundation and PediaPress.com, PediaPress has agreed to release as open source a MediaWiki parser library written in Python:
http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki
The library is released under a BSD license. It supports rendering mathematics and timelines, provided the correct dependencies are installed. It could be used for purposes such as offline readers or desktop applications.
Please contact the developers at mwlib <at> googlegroups.com if you have technical questions about the library.
