+<p><strong>Advance usage</strong> of WikipediaFS includes easy development of
+scripts and <em>bots</em>. Programs simply have to deal with normal files
+because this is WikipediaFS which takes care of the HTTP layer. For example, it

-<h2>Current status</h2>
-
-<p>For short:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>WikipediaFS depends on the python bindings for fuse. Unfortunately, previous
-stable releases are not available from the <a
-href="http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FusePython">official
-web site</a> anymore.</li>
-<li>The development version, which is the only currently available from the
-the official web site, is not compatible with WikipediaFS. Don't use it
-with WikipediaFS!</li>
-<li>Our policy is to wait until
-the bindings get released before making WikipediaFS compatible with
-them.</li>
-<li>In the interim, the <a href="python-fuse-2.5.tar.bz2">following</a> package
-of the bindings, which comes from Debian, may work for you.</li>
-<li>Debian is currently the distribution that has probably the best support for
-WikipediaFS. WikipediaFS is currently packaged in Debian using previous
-releases of the bindings.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Because we think that WikipediaFS is an interesting idea, we are looking for
-co-maintainers and volunteers to help make WikipediaFS a more active
-project!</p>
