@ -33,41 +33,3 @@ done with mailing lists?

me being crazy, I prefer a general-purpose solution that helps everyone)

[[!tag wishlist]]
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe I'm not using ikiwiki right, and I'll appreciate any advice on this, but
|
||||
it seems to me that using ikiwiki instead of a mailing lists has some major
|
||||
weaknesses which I fail to overcome, but which may be possible to fix, maybe
|
||||
using some client-side software.
|
||||
|
||||
The problem: Mailing lists give me things I need but can't find here, so I'm
|
||||
failing to track the [[/forum]], [[/todo]] and so on:
|
||||
|
||||
- With MLs I can easily see what I read, to what I replied, mark things with
|
||||
colors and labels if my MUA supports it
|
||||
- With MLs I can easily send a reply, without going through git. Reading and
|
||||
writing happen together in the same dedicated UI
|
||||
|
||||
I know I can subscribe to [[forum]] and to individual posts' comment feeds, but
|
||||
it's not the same - I don't see the tree of comments like in e-mail. Either I
|
||||
sort by creation time (not seeing evidence of more recent replies) or by
|
||||
last-edited time, or perhaps by last comment (then busy pages cause less busy
|
||||
ones quickly go deep into the list and are never seen by the user).
|
||||
|
||||
Is there an existing solution to this?
|
||||
|
||||
Random ideas, maybe direction for a solution:
|
||||
|
||||
- Make client software which takes a local git clone of a wiki and operates on
|
||||
it, while the user sees an MUA-like interface
|
||||
- Add some plugin to ikiwiki that can cooperate with an MTA: listen to e-mail
|
||||
on a mailing list with specific formatting and put the content into a wiki.
|
||||
|
||||
What do you think? How do you keep track of the forum etc. in the same way it's
|
||||
done with mailing lists?
