IRC Bot Module: Mediawiki Recent Changes
I’ve coded up a module for the Java IRC Bot framework PPF that uses Mediawiki’s api.php to provide live “RecentChanges” to an irc channel. It’s available in my Misc Projects repository.
It’s very rough at the moment, but I plan to make some improvements (for example, currently on the list are: moving stuff like frequency and output format to the config file, ability to have per-wiki configs, commands in the style of FeedReader for manipulating subscriptions).
I’d like to provide links (directly to the changes) as well, but I’ll have to look at how difficult this will be as they don’t appear to be provided nicely.
