I would like to see the Ubuntu Weekly News add a section for SE questions. The thing is that it's run by non-technical people and since the data we need is already in SE I figured someone could whip up a quick script to grab the right info and then spit it out in MoinMoin wiki format (That they use) so the editor can just fire off the command, and then copy and paste the moin-compliant results:
- Grab the top five from here: https://askubuntu.com/?tab=week
- Top contributors for the week: http://stackexchange.com/leagues/31/week/ubuntu
- The moin formatting information is here: http://moinmo.in/HelpOnFormatting
It would look like this, but with links to the individual questions and users:
== Top User Questions ==
* My processor is 64-bit - does that mean I need the amd64 image?
* Why might I want to use a clipboard manager?
* Why are notifications so low?
* With a launcher for a terminal application, how can I keep the terminal
open after the program is complete?
* Alternative desktop managers

Can someone help me out?
