Re: [Mediawiki-l] Page creation by email

I was kicking around a similar idea here for our development group. My thoughts were to create a program that would plug into sendmail. This would harvest the email sent to an address and add it as a wiki page; very, very similar to Eckhard's. IMHO, the *really* important stuff is what the markup in the email should look like. Our primary use of this will be for HowTo's. I.e. when someone figures out how to do X, they simply copy the email thread to the wiki by supplying a CC and adding some markup. I was thinking something like this in the email: <topic namespace="development" name="How to get a Location's bundle for tests"> One of the improvements we made to Location bundle handling was to deny external access to the Location's bundle in general (so Location.getBundle() went from public to protected). However in tests you might want to do things like verify that a given bean is in the Location's bundle. For that sort of thing there is a new static test method LocationTest.getLocationBundle(Location), which should be self-explanatory. </topic> The markup I created is really geared toward a discussion group. I would think the topic tag would also accept things like category. Thoughts? Dave On Thu, 2005-09-08 at 15:53 -0400, Sy Ali wrote: -- Dave Brewster &lt;dbrewster(a)guidewire.com&gt;
