What's next ?

This module is at a very early stage. It only cover my specific use case, which is scraping a word's etymology and definitions from french Wiktionary.

The module will improve over time. Priorities are for the following features and fixes:

• Scrap all sections from a word.
• Support wiktionaries from other languages.

You can read the TODO for more stuff to do.
