I cant stress how important pywikibot is! It covers so many functionalities and use cases that it is an excellent test stress for the API. A low hanging fruit would be to run its test suite against beta (which runs tip of master) on an hourly basis. -- Antoine "hashar" Musso _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
