Task/s: set and update latest version for some softwares

Function details: It searches for a version number in the programs' websites, and if present, it sets it. No reference. --Ricordisamoa 20:58, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

At the moment only Stellarium and Firefox (already updated). More will come in the future (suggestions, please!).--Ricordisamoa 21:00, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Update: done SuperTuxKart. --Ricordisamoa 21:09, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

 Question Where do you obtain the information from? Are you parsing the official website or do you use the updating mechanism? --Faux (talk) 06:52, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Answer I don't know how to use a standard updating mechanism, so I parse the official websites' content. --Ricordisamoa 16:36, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment I think it would be a good idea if we could start a list in project space somewhere so we know which bots will be updating which field for which software to avoid duplication of work. Legoktm (talk) 15:39, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
