Using Pearle on another GNU FDL wiki

I was wondering if you could drop me a note on my talk page with some links to information on how the Pearle bot works (or code for it), particularly in the context of the Template:Opentasks. I work on the Congresspedia wiki and we'd like to use it to automate the migration of open tasks and our "in the news" headlines from the various portals to our main page and community portal. Many thanks and brilliant work! --Conor Kenny 23:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello again, Conor! (We ran into each other in person at the Boston Wikimania.) There is Pearle code posted at User:Pearle/pearle.pl, but it is from 2005, and almost certainly doesn't work. Not even the more up-to-date code I am actually running the bot with is currently writing to the wiki, and I've determined that the best solution is to completely rewrite the bot using a Perl library for Mediawiki bots.[1] I'm actually planning to do that the week of July 30. In what sort of timeframe were you looking at doing this migration? If you don't have any Perl programmers chomping at the bit to get this done, I may have time to produce a variant for Congresspedia that week. Feel free to send along details about the migration and I'll be happy to take a look. -- Beland 17:04, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey, yeah, thanks for the offer! We're in big rush. When you get finished with the new code it would be fantastic if you could help us a bit with adapting it for Congresspedia. --Conor Kenny 22:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

United States National Archives WikiProject

Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts. There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
