Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce the general availability of the first public
release of the Sweble Wikitext parser, available from http://sweble.org.

The Sweble Wikitext parser

* can parse all complex MediaWiki Wikitext, incl. tables and templates
* produces a real abstract syntax tree (AST); a DOM will follow soon
* is open source made available under the Apache Software License 2.0
* is written in Java utilizing only permissively licensed libraries

You can find all relevant information and code at http://sweble.org –
this also includes demos, in particular the CrystalBall demo, which lets
you query a Wikipedia snapshot using XQuery.

The Sweble Wikitext parser intends to be a complete parser for MediaWiki
Wikitext. That said, plenty of work remains to be done.

At this stage, we are hoping for your help. You can help us by

* playing with the CrystalBall demo and pointing out to us wiki
  pages that look particularly bad or faulty
* simply using the parser in your projects and telling us what
  works and what doesn’t (bug reports)
* getting involved in the open source project by contributing
  code, documentation, and good humor

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to use the sweble.org
facilities or send email to [email protected].

Cheers
Hannes
