EmailBasedWiki

Last edit October 19, 2005
Pushing EmailIntegration to its extreme, the author asks for a WikiEngine with the following additional features:

  • posting via (WysiWyg-) emails
  • getting daily the RecentChanges and a digest of the changed pages
  • setting filters for the digest
  • converting WysiWyg Html to the respective WikiMarkup
  • feeding the incoming digest into a Local User Wiki

Benefits:
  • saving time for the Wikizens
  • reducing the workload of the Source Wiki
  • automatic backup on the local target Wiki
  • universal UI for easier InterWikiing

Many wiki (see WikiPageAsEmail) allow people to subscribe to changes to particular pages. MoinMoin (and perhaps others) allow a person to subscribe to "*", so they get email when any page gets created or modified.

TikiWiki (and perhaps others) allow people to post to the wiki by sending a specially formatted email to a special address.
