Two technical problems with wiki.erights.org: 1. The Atom feed over-escapes URLs, which mangling makes it harder than it ought to be to get to a single-change page to revert spam: ... <id>http://wiki.erights.org/w/index.php?title=Walnut/Ordinary_Programming/Quasi-Literals_and_Quasi-Parsers&amp;curid=1524&amp;diff=3006&amp;oldid=3005 </id> ... <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://wiki.erights.org/w/index.php?title=Walnut/Ordinary_Programming/Quasi-Literals_and_Quasi-Parsers&amp;curid=1524&amp;diff=3006&amp;oldid=3005 "/> ... 2. It would be useful to my use-the-wiki-specification-as-the- implementation-test-suite effort to have a way to download precisely every page which is in a given category; I have heard that a way to do this is to use the MediaWiki API, <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Lists#categorymembers_.2F_cm> but 2a. the API is not enabled; 2b. the needed operation was added in MediaWiki version 1.11, which is newer than the version we're running. -- Kevin Reid <http://homepage.mac.com/kpreid/>
