 I know a little Java.  However, I have access to the toolserver now , and if the block on faleg.org meant anything, it was that developers should use the toolserver rather than writing scrapers, so I'm working on getting things running on the toolserver instead.  About the javascript version though, I really strongly believe that's the best non-direct-database way to go, beans or not.  Even if someone were to delete local pages, it's still something that's rather democratic, in that offsite copies will always exist, and individual users can always make their own completely independent copy inside Wikipedia (since AJAX security restrictions require it to be served from en.wikipedia.org in order to run properly).  So I'd urge you guys to work on that version instead, but that's just me. 

 Anyway, at this point, I mainly need 1) time to implement on the toolserver the ideas I already have, and 2) any new ideas others might have that can be implemented reasonably easily.  Though at the point that faleg.org was blocked, I had quite a few ideas, and I'm sure some of them will be popular if they're ever implemented.
