[lojban] Grammar checking wikipedia bot.

I mentioned this on the irc-channel earlier today, but I think I should 
post it here as well. 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.
