Hi Juliusz,

Jeff, Chris and I had an immediate need for a gem so we decided to continue
working on our one at the moment. We are tracking the progress at
bugzilla[1]. I am open to completely changing the gem in the future. I like
the idea of a simple name mediawiki-api, but there is a convention[2] that
suggests the name should be mediawiki_api[3], so we have decided to rename
our gem to that.

I had just a few minutes to take a quick look at your code but I like what
I saw. Especially OO approach and unit tests. Let's pair on it next week. :)

By the way, did you push the gem to rubygems.org? I could not find it there.
