Create online quote quizzer web site.

Meant to be like Freerice.com.

How to get quotes?

  • crawl wikiquote
  • go to en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=[TITLE]&action=edit
  • get text between <textarea … </textarea>
  • within that text regexp match ”[star] [non-star character including whitespace] [any chars] [newline]”
  • probably need to grab the multi-star lines too (these often explain the quote)
  • the title in the URL is the author.

Combine this with a ranking system of some sort.
