I have an idea which I think is possible and which I think should be set alive. When lojban is parseable (and we have a parser) we should take advantage of that by automatically check the lojban wikipedia for spelling errors by channeling the text through jbofi'e. I think that this can be done by using the wikimedia bot framework, which is among other things used to update and add interlanguage links. It should be possible to make the bot download a page, strip it of non-lojban elements (wikimarkup etc.), check the text and post an errormessage on either the articles discussion page or a centralized reference page. The bot is written in python. I'm no programmer, but know others here which are and which may find this interesting.
