Hello all,
I was just thinking about e-mail interface to Wikipedia. What for, you might ask. Sometimes it is for some people hard to get onto the Wikipedia server. I also think it would booster authors' productivity.
Off the top of my head I can think of three commands that can be placed in subject line of an e-mail : * POST * GET - raw text of the page * RECEIVE - formatted text of the page of course there should also be 'an article a day' service. POSTing should be reserved to active memebers of this mailing list. There should be some way to safeguarde against accidental overwriting of existing pages.
When POSTing raw text in body before '-- ', and author's id from e-mail before '@'.
Best regards, kpj.
