I would like to allow comments on ikiwiki pages without CGI. I have in mind something like

  • Use a pagetemplate hook (based on a quick glance at tschwinge's copyright.pm) in a plugin
  • add a mailto: url to each page matching some pagespec
  • this mailto url goes to an address identifying the page (something like user-iki-FE653b@host.fqdn.tld).
  • on the mail receiving end, these messages are either deleted, or ran through a filter to be turned into blog posts.
  • the same plugin can check for comments on a particular page next time the wiki is generated, and add a link.

Any comments? Write them here or send them to [[DavidBremner]]
