I too would very much like to learn python... :) If I can use that knowledge
to further the goals and aims of the WMF in general and Wikinews in
particular, well.... Yeah!
I used to be quite good with Perl... then I grew up, and like any language,
when you stop using it, you lose it.

Secondly, I am absolutley willing to learn. Do you know if the
Foundation hosts a bot operators mailing list, or any good
(and I say "good" because I've spent hours on end looking for
a code tutorial website through Google) websites to learn it?

Great! I'll ask admins of Toolserver to make unix group "wikinews" so
we would be able to edit files together. Python is not a hard to learn
language. Learning shell scripting is much more difficult.
Note for others: If you know to edit wiki and you know to use command
prompt on Windows, it definitely qualifies you for option 3 ("willing
to learn"). So, don't hesitate to join. More people are in the "bot
team" means smaller response time for changes.
