(06:22:21 PM) hannelita: WDYT of the idea that I gave for the last meetup? fetching and parsing content from a webpage, transforming the content and using it? (We did this for Amazon wishlist to fetch the book titles and compare it with an existing local list of titles to find duplicates)
(06:22:24 PM) booyaa: yes definitely!
(06:22:25 PM) aepsil0n: and fetch the details later
(06:22:45 PM) skade: erickt we have a monthly gamathon in berlin we can hop on, but docathon also sounds great
(06:23:03 PM) erickt: hannelita: I thought that sounded like a great idea
(06:23:21 PM) skade: hannelita I think it's great, works well on every platform and works with something people somehow know
(06:23:23 PM) erickt: and pretty achievable with our current ecosystem

@Manishearth recommended using kuchiki for the web scraping.
