I was thinking if "Wiki Aggregation" with pmwiki would be possible.
By Wiki Aggregation - I mean,
A pmwiki site would be able to pull wiki content from another domain(pmwiki)
site and display in its own page (kinda mashup)
Steps that needs to be done:
----------------------------------------------
1. Pmwiki mashable site discovery.
1.1. Common module for exposing farm/fields, pages with required modules.
(Here required modules would mean, exposing to the calling site the
modules/recipes required to display the page correctly.
2. Some common mashup rules.
3. Some means of security access token.
Solutions already in Pmwiki:
---------------------------------------------
1. By using curl/wget ?action=source helps in pulling wiki pages at source
level.
2. MarkupToHtml() available to parse such content.
Some ideas:
-------------------
1. Improve RecipeInfo[] array to add more info.
1.1 A common means of letting known the installed recipes on a site,
eg ?action=recipes. (output format could be JSON)
2. Maybe an ?action=mashable which would be similar to ?action=source but
allows the sites for finner control over the source content, so that it
displays correctly when combined with other sites content.
It would great to have a module 'mashable' to take care of this.
Comming up with one such common module, perhaps with scope to be included
in the core would be nice.
