All the pieces are readily available. There's any number of classes and Perl modules and stuff and nonsense, wikipediafs is just waiting for people to do something useful with it, pywikipedia is robust, api.php exists now.
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?
