Today the pywikipedia project is migrating from Subversion to Git. If you operate a bot, and you are currently checking out pywikipedia's source code from Subversion, please see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit to learn how to switch.

Thank you, pywikipediabot community, for this important tool! I hope you get even more contributions after switching to Git. -Sumana

Hi folks, As you probably know pywikipedia is migrating to git and after 26 July SVN checkouts can't be updated so if bot operators don't switch to git, their bots might not work properly. I already sent global message for all targets but It's good to inform local bot operators and put a message in bots' noticeboards

There is a blog post: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/07/23/pywikipediabot-moving-to-git-on-july-26... A technical manual for bot operators: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit

If people have question, they can ask in mailing list or IRC channel of pywikipedia
