[okfn-labs] [ANN] WikipediaJS - a small Javascript library for accessing information in Wikipedia articles

[Daniel Lombraña González]

Hi,

Great idea!! This will be awesome also for Popcorn.JS and other libraries
:-) One issue: I've tried the demo and it didn't work in Firefox 15 while
it works perfectly well in Chrome. The error reported by Firefox is the
following:

[09:27:20.207] TypeError: dict is undefined @
http://okfnlabs.org/wikipediajs/wikipedia.js:98

I've opened a Github issue about this bug:
https://github.com/okfn/wikipediajs/issues/4

Cheers,

Daniel
