The script can also incrementally import new changes from a running site, through RecentChanges inspection. It also supports mithro's new Mediawiki2markdown converter (which I have a copy here: git://src.anarcat.ath.cx/media2iki.git/). > Some assembly is required to get Mediawiki2markdown and its mwlib > gitmodule available in the right place for it to use.. perhaps you could > automate that? --[[Joey]] -> > You mean a debian package? :) media2iki is actually a submodule, so you need to go through extra steps to install it. mwlib being the most annoying part...
