All the pieces are readily available. There's any number of classes and Perl modules and stuff and nonsense, wikipediafs is just waiting for people to do something useful with it, pywikipedia is robust, api.php exists now.
Someone just has to write it ;-)
I'm talking about a local client for communicating with a remote mediawiki install. Are you?
I like the solution of just offloading the "communicating" part to a generic filesystem layer, and then using any local client to edit the pages that I wish, instead of a custom "Wikipedia editing" client. I use WikipediaFS http://wikipediafs.sourceforge.net/ to mount Wikipedia as a local filesystem, and vim to edit.
