@Fhocutt, are you planning to give this training session at Wikimania? If so, please schedule it. https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon#Schedule

Done, thanks @Qgil. Thursday, Don Américo, 1400.

I've run through the PHP clients:

Will try to get create templates, but I don't see that there is a particular client that's very current. I may write my own client instead. Also let me know what else might be useful.

@zaunere: You may also want to take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PHP_bot_framework_table

I'd recommend finding an active PHP API client lib project to contribute to over writing your own client--"none of these work, I'll write my own" is how we have so many already!
