LIME

Does anyone know whether LIME is suitable for Texvc or wikitext? 99.25.114.26 18:33, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, my god, how did I not find this? Is this for real? Have you ever used this?

Okay, there's a stackoverflow recommendation [1] and the examples look reasonable if somewhat simple, but it hasn't been updated in almost two years and I can't find any public bugtracker. That suggests it might not be maintained any more and was never really used. (I've never heard of a software project not getting bugs filed after it went into common usage, djb's work aside.) I wouldn't want to trust it for production use quite yet. Does that sound reasonable? Damonwang 18:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, I would hope you would try to do a parser in LIME until you found a good reason not to, and then switch to Python, and see if you could get a PHP expert on #wikimedia-tech to take over, but that might take more than a summer. 71.198.176.22 09:18, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

That does sound like a reasonable way to proceed. I'm afraid my GSoC proposal was not accepted, though, so I'm trying to find a summer job right now and any work I do on this will be in the time not taken by that job. Damonwang 16:09, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
