Have you been looking at branches/rewrite ? =)
The rewrite started by Russell is quite interesting for these specific
points:
* It uses several log levels (debug, info, warning, error, critical;
from logging module)
* It uses ONLY the API to fetch content / edit
* using the API, global flag support should be quite easy to implement.
It requires a bit of time to start working with it, but it's quite
stable: all my scripts (crontabs on the TS, and single-run requests)
actually use the rewrite =)
If some i18n work is started, I would of course suggest to work on the
rewrite: the aim is to abandon our current text-scraping framework to
use the API instead.
Thank you, Nic, for mentioning this. Maarten, your contributions to the
rewrite branch would be most welcome. As for the "bit of time to start
working with it," most of that is in understanding the lower levels of
the framework (the parts that talk to the API); the actual scripts that
the bot operators work with are changed very little from the old
version.
