These is a bot that I wrote which is built to allow people to contribute to Wikipedia from offline wikireaders. Ask me about this at the next cooperation meeting. It's actually rather cool! Benjamin Mako Hill 08:50, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

Ahhh so. There was also the gSpreadEmbed Extension function, which should be rewritten anyway to use the new google drive URLs (and better still, their API).

Still haven't found time to visit the NW :( but missing you all! :) Sj (talk) 22:45, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
