Bash Script to automate the extraction of Wikipedia data dumps, parsing out the articles, have them read by Friend Computer via PIco2Wave/Lame and move those recordings into Internet Archives library.
You can listen to the results at https://archive.org/details/WikipediaRadio
While this was made for a particular project I have kept the code as generic as possible so that anyone can use it to automate bulk renderings of text into mp3. The function to upload to the Internet Arachive can be easily disabled if that is not needed.
