Thanks for the support, Steven!
We'll be documenting the architecture in a paper we're putting together.
The source isn't currently available, as we're still trying to put
together user tests on the system; but I'd be happy to share later. As
it stands, it's part of an Apache/Django/PostgreSQL website, so it's
hard to release a standalone version of the code that someone else could
install. But describing the architecture and providing snippets of
source code for those who are interested is certainly doable.

Hi folks -
Our research team at Carleton College has just launched a new tool
that recommends Wikipedia articles to edit based on news that
you're interested in. Most news sites have Twitter or RSS feeds
that update as new articles are published. wikiFeed (our tool)
invites editors to put in their preferred news sources' Twitter or
RSS feeds - from politics to pop culture, or whatever - and finds
the most relevant Wikipedia articles to edit based on that content.
We're trying to conduct a study on the how well wikiFeed works,
and would love it if you or students of yours could sign up, try
it, and continue using it if they find it useful. Can you pass the
word along, and/or try it yourself if you're interested?
Here's our website:

Thanks for your help!

This is awesome. Is the source available, or at least some
documentation of your architecture?
