[Pywikipedia-l] Web 2.0 recent changes patrol tool demo (WPCVN)

[Dmitry Chichkov]

Some time ago as a Python/Django/JQuery/pywikipedia exercise I've hacked a
web based recent changes patrol tool. An alpha version can be seen at the:
http://www.wpcvn.com

It includes a few interesting features that may be useful to the community
(& researchers designing similar tools):
1. tool uses editors ratings, primarily based on user counters (includes
reverted revisions counters) calculated using the wiki dump;
2. site members can see each other reviewing;
3. site members can see edits being reverted (with ratings of the reverting
editor);
4. site members can confirm their nicknames (bind to the account on the
Wikipedia, the tool can catch/identify a GUID in the edit comment to
WP:SANDBOX);
5. can aggregate IRC feeds from bots (currently only MiszaBot is supported).

WPCVN yet another collaborative *(it shows other users actions - patrols and
reverts)* Web 2.0 RC patrol tool that runs in a browser. It has been tested
with Firefox <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox>,
IE<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IE>and Google
Chrome <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome>. Currently operates for
en-wiki only in the alpha <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_testing> mode.
WPCVN aggregates recent changes IRC feed, IRC feed from the MiszaBot and
WPCVN user actions. It also uses pre-calculated Wikipedia users "karma"
(based on the recent en-wiki dump analysis) to separate edits made by users
with clearly good or bad reputation. The tool is open source (LGPL) and uses
JQuery/JQueryUI + Django backend.
