For special applications, such as "dumping" backup log or status messages to a wiki page and to allow users to simply send mail to a wiki page, instead of editing, we developed a script (bot) editpage.php. Basically, the idea of mail-to-wiki is not new, see for example [1], [2]. The script can be run from commandline with parameters, can read from a file or from stdin. The latter allows to commence script execution from a simple call via POSTIFX -> PROCMAIL -> .procmailrc Commands are placed into the first lines of the mail; the currently implemented commands are * append the mail body to a wiki page (default), append:page * prepend the mail body to a wiki page prepend:page * create a new wiki page create:page A keyword Summary: allows to define an wiki edit summary; if summary is empty, the mail _Subject_ is copied as edit summary and appears in recent changes (as usual). The code is stable, tested for Mediawiki 1.3.7, 1.3.11, CVS HEAD 1.5 and will be published tomorrow. It works with both the new and old edit collision detection mechanisms, because it takes care of wpEdittime _and_ wp EditToken and treats them both for user convenience.

My first version is ready for download, it works with 1.3.7, 1.3.10, 1.5 (1.4 currently untested). Download from http://www.tgries.de/mw/editpage.php (current version 1.14) You can * submit to the script pagename, text and optional summary as commandline parameters * or from a file * or, most important, from stdin (basically, this is used when PROCMAIL transfers a mail file to the script) Description: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mail-to-wiki_gateway Tom
