Bug Description

I was looking for a Wikipedia plugin for Exaile and found that there used to be one, called "Did you know?"

See here: http://www.exaile.org/files/plugins/0.2.14/didyouknow.py
and download here: http://www.exaile.org/files/plugins/0.2.14/didyouknow.exz

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in Exaile 0.3.x, I get the error: "Plugin archive is not in the correct format."

Perhaps this is an easy fix, just making the plugin's file layout conform with the expectations of 0.3.x.
In any case, it would be great if any wizard out there could make this work!

I contacted the author but he wasn't interested in working on it anymore.

Thanks!

I've created a new plugin that provides this functionality.

I'm sure there's still lots of room for improvement, but it works.

Added with some modifications with r4003. Most notable changes: use of the mobile view of Wikipedia (small panel space after all) and thus removed beautifulsoup dependency. Added Back/Forward buttons. Aside from that cleanups.
