Instant Messenger / Email integration with MediaWiki
|
|
Hi,
I have two common requests from users of MediaWiki at my site:
1. Being able to communicate via instant messenger *through the site*,
where the chat gets recorded in the related article's Talk page.
2. Being able to edit articles by email, where the entire article gets
emailed back and forth, and emailed changes to the article get saved as
new versions.
I can imagine a technical solution for (1) being an integration of an
instant messenger server with MediaWiki which would save the IM
conversation to the relevant Talk page; and for (2) a mailing list
integrated with MediaWiki that would extract and clean up the article
from the mail (removing any indents) and save it as a new version.
My question: has anyone implemented anything like this before?
Robert.
