The nice thing is that if it works through microformats, a lot of the Wikipedias' templates already do those. Software massaging may still be needed to make it glitch-free. But having an actual (rather than hypothetical) consumer for the data is a very nice incentive to get it all in order. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
