Hi all
I'm currently working on several small enhancements that will hopefully make things easier for bots. I would like to point you to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/REST, where I have put up a proposal for a lightweight bot interface, relying mainly on CSV.
Also, ther's now a keyword for bot-related bugs and requests on bugzilla: "bot-interface". To see a list of bugs currently marked with this keyword, see http://tinyurl.com/9hb3m. If you know of more, please add this keyword to them.
Regards, Daniel
