[Hepserver-devel] email to wiki

[Stephen H. <st...@be...>]

Hi,

I've just started using Hep within the last few days and it's very
awesome stuff; viewing blog entries from my email client, mutt, is
just great. And I look forward even more to being able to send out
replies from within mutt to the Hep server and have them show up as
comments on the blogs (though I have no idea how feasible this is
with current RSS/XML-RPC/etc. blog APIs, I'm still a newbie when
it comes to such things).

So, to tangent to the point of my email, my boss mentioned today
that he'd really like to send email into our wiki, e.g. auto-append
stuff to a page like 'ToDo' or what not.

At first I thought writing a simple script to poll an email address
and post the results directly into the page wouldn't be hard, Hep
came to mind as a more elegant (fun) way to go about doing it.

E.g. have a folder like 'wikis/foo' that email could be sent into,
which triggers sending in to the folder's desintation, a HTTP
post into a wiki.

(I read the general source -> folder -> destination overview on the
webpage, but I haven't looked closely yet to really understand how
they relate, fire events amongst themselves, etc.)

Is such a thing fairly doable with the current state of Hep? Is it
at the point I could realistically start playing around with a wiki
destination, etc., or are you still in the midst of refactoring and
would rather have the dust settle for awhile before letting other
people meander through the code?

Thanks,
Stephen
