For example, there is a call to get all language links for a given page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API#langlinks_.2F_ll_.28done.29 If we use it with a list of English page titles (i.e. the most viewed pages), we could quickly find out which ones are _not_ available in a particular language. Of course, we could do the same thing by trying to parse the HTML pages. This API seems a faster and more reliable way to do it though.

I'm looking at it and nothing comes immediately to mind. Benoit — what sort of tools can you think of that we might do using the MediaWiki API?

I should be back to work tomorrow and will post up my notes as well. It was great to meet you all, and I look forward to working on some of this stuff together!

It would probably be useful to develop external tools (extensions, remote scripts, ...). http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API I'll see what we can add to Nukeador's list too.

I have to write down a list with ideas to share with other localizers, it's in my todo list for this week ;) Yes, it was a very interesting weekend.
