Someone just has to write it ;-)
I'm talking about a local client for communicating with a remote
mediawiki install. Are you?
Exactly what kind of functionality did you have in mind?
I recently began work on a client app in Java that works something like a
pseudo-ssh shell, allowing you to use vim or whatever editor to edit
MediaWiki pages, along with providing a fairly extensive Java framework that
has (or will have ...) all the functionality of pywiki and a command-line
interface to go with each application. This is my ideal way of doing just
about everything, but I'm not sure if there is any demand for a client like
this; as such, I'd planned on just keeping it to myself and working in
silence. Would this kind of a client be one that you would find helpful?
