I would like to allow comments on ikiwiki pages without CGI.
I have in mind something like
* Use a pagetemplate hook
in a plugin (DONE)
* add a mailto: url to each page matching some pagespec
(currently every page gets a comment footer)
* this mailto url goes to an address identifying the page (something like
user-iki-FE653b@host.fqdn.tld). (DONE)
> I wonder if it would be more or less natural to put an encoded form
> of the page name in the email address? I'm thinking about something
> like `wikiname+index@host` or `wikiname+todo+comment_by_mail@host`.
> The basic transformation would be to call `titlepage($page)` (in the
> C locale), followed by replacing "/" with "+" (since "/" is not
> valid in mails). --[[Joey]]

* on the mail receiving end, these messages are either deleted, or ran through
a filter to be turned into blog posts.
- I'm thinking about how the filter should work. Within a
mail client, or as a batch tool to scan a mailbox? How to interact with version control, if at all?
* the same plugin can check for comments on a particular page next time the wiki
is generated, and add a link. (more or less done)
> If the filter just checks in the posts into revision control, the
> post-commit hook would handle updating the wiki to include those
> posts as they come in. --[[Joey]]
* work in progress can be
- [cloned](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/ikiperl.git), or
- [browsed](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/?p=ikipostal.git;a=summary)
Any comments? Write them here or send them to [[DavidBremner]]
