Summary

A Python implementation of pump sorting code.

Discussion

I was reading [[1]]. I'm programming the Village Pump sorter right now.

I will just read all {{vp|...}} and get last edit date. And just sort it by edit date. Very simple.

IMO, it's better than rotate new pump pages to the top of list, and old to bottom. --Guga360 21:22, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

My code is 80% done. --Guga360 22:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I already runned it. It's working perfectly. (I used GugaTagFixer to test it.) I will post source code here. --Guga360 22:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

What happened?

It seems like we never did anything with this code. What's up with that? --Mwn3d 12:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
