Actually I'd look into some (old?) versions of the old pywikipedia bot
framework.
Originally, pywikipedia used screen/web-scraping, which should always work.
Possibly pywikipedia is overkill even,
depending on what options are still open on wikitravel.
If no one has done so, and people feel a pressing need, (and if you can find
me): call me, beep me, and I might yet take a look.
sincerely,

ps. For reasons, I'd like to stress that this applies to fetching CC-licensed
content
only; as created by CC-licensors only; as permitted by that license only. -Which
applies to most/all of wikitravel as per TOS and licensing terms AFAICT.
pps. (note: my TODO-list is long and ancient :-/ tips on list-management
appreciated!)
