Copying David's last message to the list:

I've started the initial work on a module to integrate with Wikipedia (MediaWiki). This first version will use screen-scraping to pull data from OL in order to avoid delaying the project while Open Library develops its API.

Specifically, Wikimedia's API priorities are:
* An OpenSearch foundation for querying the system
  * Most importantly, this should allow querying by unique IDs in Open Library
  * Later, we will need full-text searching and querying by Open Library record timestamps for creation and updates
* Basic XML records delivered as results from the system
  * Enough to fill in Wikipedia's citation templates

We'd like to move forward on API implementation over the next few weeks.

Yes, totally moving on this asap...Anand, any help on the documentation on the AP?
