help getting started on bugzilla integration

Hi,

I want to write a bugzilla integration. My initial thought
is a template, say Bug, that populates a page with the bug
detals. So {{Bug|1000}} will return a table with the bug
summary, priority etc.

First thing is contacting bugzilla and getting the data: http:/
/.../show_bug.cgi?id=1000&ctype=xml. 
After that, parsing the xml to extract data

Since I'm very new to PHP and mediawiki, I don't know where
to start. I'd be glad to get a reference to projects that do
similar things.

Thanks,
Ittay

This was done for a differen bugtracker before. Try looking
at 
http
://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MantisIntegration to get a
hint how to 
start. That extention works well for me.

Stefan
