Subject: ITP: wikipedia2text -- displays Wikipedia articles on the command line
Package: wnpp
Owner: Axel Beckert <abe@deuxchevaux.org>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : wikipedia2text
  Version         : 0.05
  Upstream Author : Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
* URL             : http://www.256bit.org/~chrisbra/wiki
* License         : Public Domain
  Description     : displays Wikipedia articles on the command line

This bash script fetches Wikipedia articles (currently supports
English and German) using elinks or lynx -dump, strips off everything
not related to the content and displays the content in pager, sends it
to standard out, opens the Wikipedia article in a (possibly GUI)
browser or just shows the URL of the Wikipedia article.

The original script is named "wiki" which seems useful when regarding
how fast it's typed, but inappropriate for installing it somewhere
system wide, because wiki is a concept and not a short form for
wikipedia. So I plan to call script and package "wikipedia2text".

License Details: The author wrote in his (German written) blog
at http://blog.256bit.org/archives/126-Wikipedia-in-der-Shell.html:

  Wer's haben will, mag es nehmen und damit tun was auch immer er mag. 

Which means roughly translated to English:

  Anyone who wants it can take it and do whatever he wants to do with
  it.

I asked the author by mail if this statement should mean the script is
public domain and and he acknowledged it.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 325417
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
325417@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
