They aren't pointed by the files, so seem safe to delete.

Brion, any reason to truncate the patches instead of removing?

Announcing the Open Source Sweble Wikitext Parser v1.0

Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce the general availability of the first public
release of the Sweble Wikitext parser, available from http://sweble.org.

The Sweble Wikitext parser

* can parse all complex Wikitext, incl. tables and templates
* produces a real abstract syntax tree (AST); a DOM will follow soon
* is open source made available under the Apache Software License 2.0
* is written in Java utilizing only permissively licensed libraries

You can find all relevant information and code at http://sweble.org –
this also includes demos, in particular the CrystalBall demo, which lets
you query a Wikipedia snapshot using XQuery.

The Sweble Wikitext parser intends to be a complete parser for Wikitext.
That said, plenty of work remains to be done.

At this stage, we are hoping for your help. You can help us by

* playing with the CrystalBall demo and pointing out to us wiki
  pages that look particularly bad or faulty
* simply using the parser in your projects and telling us what
  works and what doesn’t (bug reports)
* getting involved in the open source project by contributing
  code, documentation, and good humor

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to use the sweble.org
facilities or send email to info <at> sweble.org.

You should identify whether you mean "MediaWikitext", or some other
dialect -- MediaWiki Is Not The Only Wiki... 

and you should post to wikitext-l as well.  The real parser maniacs hang 
out over there, even though traffic is low.

It is MediaWiki's Wikitext; elsewhere it is usually called wiki markup.

Cheers,

Improperly and incompletely, perhaps, yes.

I'm a MW partisan, and think it's better than nearly all its competitors,
for nearly all uses... but even I try not to be *that* partisan.

Hmm, never viewed it that way. IMO, MediaWiki (developers) invented a wiki 
markup language and called it Wikitext; other engines just call it wiki markup 
or what not. For me, Wikitext always was the particular markup of MediaWiki, 
much like php or C++ are particular language names.

Is there any other engine that calls it's markup Wikitext? I'd be surprised. 
Even for WikiCreole wikicreole.org we used wiki markup.

Cheers,
Dirk

We ourselves say it's a generic term:
