[http://interwiki.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiGateway InterWikiSoftware:WikiGateway] WikiGateway is a library of functions which allows you to act as a client to a wiki website, executing operations like getPage, putPage, and getRecentChanges. WikiGateway translates your requests into the idiosyncratic HTML form interfaces of various popular wiki servers. Basically, it does Wiki I/O and import/export. It can be used either as a Perl module or as a web service providing XmlRpcToWiki. Currently it only works with UseMod and MoinMoin, but contributions to make it work with other wikis are welcome. == Potential applications == * Movement of content between different wikis * RSS export & RSS aggregators * MeatBall:UnifiedRecentChanges * MeatBall:FilteredRecentChanges, MeatBall:SubscribedChanges, and similar wiki features (which can now be implemented on the client side rather than as part of the wiki server's code) * MeatBall:PersonalPrivateWiki and MeatBall:PersonalPublicWiki * MeatBall:WikiClient (and WikiServer) ** Things like MeatBall:TouchGraphWikiBrowser. ** MeatBall:RefactoringBrowser * WikiWindow * Decentralization of large, resource-bound projects like WikiPedia See [http://interwiki.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiGatewayMotivation InterWikiSoftware:WikiGatewayMotivation] for motivation, and [http://interwiki.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiGatewayGeneralDiscussion InterWikiSoftware:WikiGatewayGeneralDiscussion] for discussion, including security implications. == Present Work == === Email Lists === For general discussion of InterWiki stuff: * http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/interwiki-discuss For users of WikiGateway: * http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/interwiki-wgateway-usr === Testing === LionKimbro is helping BayleShanks test his system, by running it himself, and trying it out from different systems. Please join us! === Atom === WikiGateway partially supports Atom. That is, it allows a third party to set up a gateway server which effectively allows users to read and modify a wiki via the Atom protocol. All without touching the code of the WikiEngine or even having access to its server. See [http://interwiki.sf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AtomGateway InterWikiSoftware:AtomGateway] for details. See [http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/AtomWikiGateway AtomWiki:AtomWikiGateway] for a demo. === Command-line wiki client === There is a command-line frontend to WikiGateway in progress. Actually, it seems to work, but unit tests and documentation haven't been written yet. Synopsis: 
			wikiclient --type=usemod1 read MeatBall:SandBox
                        wikiclient --type=usemod1 read http://meatballwiki.org/wiki:SandBox
			wikiclient --type=usemod1 write http://interwiki.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl:SandBox	     
			wikiclient --type=usemod1 rc MeatBall
			wikiclient --type=usemod1 allpages http://interwiki.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl
Information to be read/written is read from STDIN/printed to STDOUT. Note that InterMap monikers can be used as shortcuts for URLs. An optional UseMod style InterMap file is needed for this. ---- === Text on this page above here is PrimarilyPublicDomain === ---- CategorySyndication CategoryInterCommunity CategoryWikiTechnology
