My current project: I've kludged together a external script wrapper for AWB, and I'm replacing book links to Amazon and similar sites with Wikipedia-style ISBN 0000000000 links, checked and formatted with the Business::ISBN perl module. Reasons: ISBN links are international, involve libraries as well as sales-for-profit, and don't encourage people to spam the site with sponsored links. If you have ideas on how I should improve this, let me know. I'm trying my hardest to avoid replacing on pages that specifically make reference to a feature of the Amazon page (such as reviews or sales ranks) rather than the book in general, but please be forgiving of my motives if I should slip up.

I've also been replacing tinyurls with the lengthier forms where appropriate.

Most of the rest of my Wikipedia contribution is anti-vandalism and minor clerical stuff.
