Parser 2011/AST


 * do a quick survey of the existing ASTs for MediaWiki-based parsers
 * settle on an initial one to work with
 * -> do some manual conversions for Future/Parser test cases

Timeline
Wikimedia parser group team are throwing together initial structure & grammar ideas and demos here in May and June 2011.

Getting involved

 * Join the wikitext-l mailing list if interested in following along or getting involved; there should be posts from Brion, Trevor, or Neil at least a couple times a week, and we're going to need feedback and help!
 * Give feedback on the initial prelim docs & demos (to come soon)
 * Collect references to existing alternate parser output formats
 * Collect test cases (example pages, known problematic pages, corpus from Wikipedia, adapted parser tests) for the Future/Parser test cases
