✨ NAME ✨

dl10n-spider — crawl translator mailing lists (and BTS) for status updates 🕷️💌

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dl10n-spider [options] lang+

literally that's it. options, then one or more languages, slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This script parses the debian-l10n-<language> mailing list archives. 👀 It's out here looking for emails whose titles follow a specific format — the kind that tell you what the author intends to translate, or what the current status of their work on this translation is.

All of those informations get saved to a dl10n database, which you can then use to build a l10n coordination page or any other useless statistics. 💀 iconic behaviour, honestly.
