Hi all, I would like to notice that I am now working on rewrite of mw-bot, called wm-bot (wikimedia bot - it's supposed to serve in various wikimedia chans), the bot now is supporting exactly same functions as mw bot + some more, and I think it would be good if we replaced current mw-bot in future at some point. The reasons are:
- Old bot is written in java and nearly no one has access to source code, neither is managing it, the bot is still running without problems rather thanks to original creator who did a great work and made a very stable code, extending the bot with more features could be problem. - New bot is in svn (tools/wmib) so that anyone can participate on development and even on operation of the bot - New bot is running on wmf labs so that it should be running on more stable server with better connectivity and also is better accessible for others, because apart of toolsever it's no problem to give acess to service user account to more devs (anyone with svn account can get access there) so that more people can operate the bot and patch it. I converted current database and it's running in #mediawiki-move so that you can try various commands like (!mediawiki !b <id>), any feedback on this whole idea and bot is welcome also please before you start commiting changes to source code, keep in mind that I now work on splitting it to more files so that we avoid conflicts when commiting changes, it should be done by today.
