Hack together a local ikiwiki w/o a web server using w3m's cgi-less mode
and $EDITOR. Browse around a wiki, select pages to edit and get dropped
right into the editor and have the page committed to svn automatically.
Less grandiosely, a simple command line util to add a new page would be
useful, especially if it made it easy to add blog entries to the wiki. I
have a special purpose version of this in my [blog
script](http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/bin.html).
----
w3m's cgi mode requires that cgis be in /usr/lib/w3m/cgi-bin/, and the url
for it can be $LIB/script. This presents a problem, since a regular user
can't add an ikiwiki wrapper to there (nor should they). But,
/usr/lib/w3m/cgi-bin/ikiwiki could be a meta-wrapper, that is passed the
path to the real wrapper in PATH_INFO, validates it, and runs the real
wrapper. So:
<a href="file:///$LIB/ikiwiki.cgi/home/joey/.ikiwiki/wrappers/ikiwiki.cgi">
Validation is important, because we don't want just any html document
including an evil w3m cgi that gets unintentionally run. The validation I'm
thinking of is that the ikiwiki meta-wrapper only runs wrappers in
$HOME/.ikiwiki/wrappers/, which the user presumably controls.
