abstract
  • WikipediaFS is a virtual filesystem which allows users to view and edit Wikipedia (or any MediaWiki-based site) articles as if they were real files on a local disk drive. This enables a user to edit articles directly with any text editor. WikipediaFS is developed primarily by Mathieu Blondel on SourceForge.net. WikipediaFS is implemented in Python and uses the FUSE kernel module. The file system works by lazily downloading and uploading article sourcetexts — only sending HTTP requests to the selected site when a file is accessed. (Reading a file corresponds to a GET HTTP request, writing to a POST HTTP request.) With WikipediaFS, articles can be directly edited with the user's favorite text editor.
