Have you been looking at branches/rewrite ? =)
The rewrite started by Russell is quite interesting for these specific points:
- It uses several log levels (debug, info, warning, error, critical;
from logging module)
- It uses ONLY the API to fetch content / edit
- using the API, global flag support should be quite easy to implement.
It requires a bit of time to start working with it, but it's quite stable: all my scripts (crontabs on the TS, and single-run requests) actually use the rewrite =)
If some i18n work is started, I would of course suggest to work on the rewrite: the aim is to abandon our current text-scraping framework to use the API instead.
Thank you, Nic, for mentioning this. Maarten, your contributions to the rewrite branch would be most welcome. As for the "bit of time to start working with it," most of that is in understanding the lower levels of the framework (the parts that talk to the API); the actual scripts that the bot operators work with are changed very little from the old version.
