Hi all,

I am working at a script to give people with limited access to the internet the possibility to join dokuwiki discussions by making an Imap<->dokuwiki gateway.

I want to do this because dokuwiki is used now for a large network in central east asia, but a lot of organisations there have very bad conditions regarding telecommunication. (bad/no/slow lines). Some of them have to drive 80 km to get to an internet centre!

The idea is that people can send an email to dokuwiki@xxxxxxxxxx and their comments will be put in the namespace that they provide in the subject line. By this method it is possible to make links like
mailto:dokuwiki@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=namespace:namespace:namespace
in newletters that people receive by mail.


So what I wanted to ask: what is the preferred way to interact directly with the data in the data-directory? Of course i could just tamper these files, but I'm sure there is a better way.

Is anyone else letting other scripts/programs modifying the dokuwiki/data/pages files?

Youre ideas are more than welcome!

Thank you,

Riny
