End of year project : Gate Between Git and Mediawiki

Hi,

We are 4 students from Ensimag, a French engineering school of computer science  and are planning to develop during four weeks a gate between Git and Mediawiki as our end of year project. Our goal is to create something in the line of git svn, applied to mediawiki powered wikis. Matthieu Moy, active member of the community and our teacher, is supervising the project along with Sylvain Boulmé (in CC of this mail), and sent you the idea a few months ago. In the process, Jeff King sent a quick and dirty perl code which does the mediawiki fetching part. We intend to improve it in order to facilitate mediawiki -> git. We also plan to use remote-helpers and fast-import to have the best compatibility overtime. We will most likely contact you during the next weeks to report status on this project and get suggestions on more specific points. In the meantime, feel free to give any suggestion on such a project.

Thank you for your help, Best regards,

David Amouyal, Claire Fousse, Jérémie Nikaes & Arnaud Lacurie
