I'll be back around (hopefully) in a few more weeks. Although my python is a bit weak I'll be happy to help out. I do have lots of linux knowlegde. I use gentoo.
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.

Hi Milos, everyone,
I've started learning Python and the pywikipedia framework, and have recently written a bot on Wikipedia ([[en:User:The wubbot]]) I am keen to get more involved in Wikinews, and was considering working on a bot to do similar tasks, so would be grateful for any help. I don't know much about GNU/Linux, but I'm certainly willing to learn.
