Create quizzes from Wikipedia articles with WikiQuiz

A recent post at Hacker News brought details about an intriguing new Python project called WikiQuiz that parses content from a Wikipedia article and creates quizzes from it. It's a neat, little project created for a job interview. And fortunately for those of us not keen on setting things up for the Python project, a generous user created an app on Heroku for it.

It's not perfect, but it's open-source and extensible. Projects like this can also be really helpful in providing a base for other projects to build on, such as a multiplayer quiz app as suggested in the discussion. There's also a suggestion to use DBpedia for the database, and other comments to help the idea along as well. It's an interesting project that's spawned some great discussion for developer-minded folks.
