1. Wiki Blog Integration Concept

Blogs log events, wikis categorize data. Neither is really great at the other. Here I discuss ways of integrating them.

 

2. One simple way of integrating wikis and blogs

Blogs and Wikis can be integrated easily if:

• the blog supports post by e-mail and
• the wiki supports subscribe by e-mail to changes of any page.

I appear to have gotten this to work with B2 and MoinMoin. But I had to hack MoinMoin quite a bit to get the mail in a reasonable format whereby I’d actually want it blogged.

I now also have a hack to B2 that automatically inserts links to wiki pages (with wiki names) that exist, but only if not in between angle brackets – I don’t want to have links inside of links as nested anchors haven’t been allowed for a long time in HTML land.
