TurboWikipedia

What is it?

TurboWikipedia is a web-application based on the TurboGears framework for making Wikipedia maintenance tasks easier.
It is not a Wiki implementation.
You can think of it as PyWikipediaBot with a smart, web-based front-end that is custom tailored to a number of specific maintenance tasks.

Architecture

Here's a quick, high level overview of how the pieces fit together:

Status

Currently I'm still in the prototyping phase. I'd like to get the following to work for the 0.1 release:

One click stub-sorting

Present a number of uncategorized stub articles to the user on a single page
Let the user click a specific stub category
Store category choices as tasks for the robot on the server
Do the categorization asynchronously via the robot

One click image license checking

Present a number of image pages with unchecked licensing information on a single page
Let the user click a specific action for the image
E.g. one action is "fair use with bogus license". The robot will:
- Mark the image page with {{PUIdisputed}}
- Notify the uploader
- List the image at WP:PUI

AJAX integration into the regular Wikipedia interface

Autocompletition for adding categories, templates, etc.

Future

Once I have the basic infrastructure in place I'd like to take a stab at a server-side, collaborative version of VandalFighter.

That would roughly mean turning CryptoDerk's VandalFighter into an AJAX-based web page, something like digg spy and adding a trust-graph to it (think eBay ratings, or Slashdot Karma).
