Hi,
I'd like to join the development of the wiki2xml parser, and especially
using the xml to generate LaTeX, PDF, etc. There seems to be a lot of
different projects about this, perhaps someone could give me a hint on
where to join or which projects have died?
Timwi's parser at
http://timwi.dyndns.org/wiki/tmp.php (offline right
now). I suppose that is the same as in CVS/flexbisonparse, is this
correct? This project seems to be quite active, is it going to be
included in mediawiki any time soon?
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_DTD - quite comprehensive draft
for a DTD, but is there some sort of implementation?
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_lexer - ???
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/XML_export - ???
The background for my interest is that I'm the author of the wikipdf
script at
http://wiki.auf-trag.de/ which is written in python. A lot of
people are asking me about new features or bugfixes, but re-inventing
the wheel for every feature in mediawiki is really a pain, and the code
is already a big mess. So I'd really like to help develop a wiki->xml
parser. I'm no expert in php, but I have some knowledge in lex and yacc.
Regards,
Stephan
