summarizing the discussion up to here, with the hope that you'll read
this rather long email and comment about the uncertainities left.
Unfortunately I have not had many time on my hands the last month, but as no-one has replied to your mail, I suppose the summary is fairly good :) Russ Blau has made some recent changes to http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Rewrite that are very interesting. I suggest to continue the discussion there, although a wiki environment is not too well-suited for that type of task ;)
I will finalize the coding style guidelines; using_underscores for function names, which means we can start coding \o (of course, someone else could have finalized them, too. I'm not your pywikipedia project benevolent dictator or sth ;))
Bryan (...) also suggested having a code name for our rewrite project (rather than, for
example, "pywikipedia 2.0" which was perhaps coined by Misza). What about 'procrastination' or something in that region? I have a feeling this project may change my procrastination into something actually useful.. just not useful for my [study|work|etc] ;)
In any case, I suppose work can commence on the backend parts like the http and api lib. Please create a botwiki page to have discussion about the specific implementation. I do have one issue about the page class, which can be read at http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Rewrite/Page . Please put comments there.

^_^ procrastination, eh.. I'd prefer pycrastination... but we should probably find a way to stick wiki in the name... rofl
What about discussing some of the other alternative ideas proposed in the past. The only that comes to mind atm, is that someone suggested setting it up to use a MediaWiki site like svn to download and edit pywikipedia. If you wanted to discuss that I'm still open for coding an extension to make MediaWiki a little more external script friendly.
Also, being able to plug in different classes to do things like getting/setting text would be nice... Same with getting families... Would be nice for working with groups of sites in an alternate manor... Does python have an 'interface' vs. 'class' setup similar to Java?
