Email Integration

From $1

Possible uses of email with Deki Wiki.

Watchlist Notifications

Users should have the option to receive email notifications about watched pages or areas of the wiki. Most wikis offer this ability, and I think it's critical for successful adoption.  Most of my users have no idea what RSS is--if it doesn't appear in their Inbox, it isn't real, and it will be forgotten.

Use Cases

Having the option to get change summaries as emails advances several key uses.

"Walled Garden" Editors

Appointed or self-appointed editors of the wiki, or areas of the wiki, will want regular updates about changes or new pages in their areas of interest.

Discussion Pages

If discussion pages are to be useful, participants will want a convenient means of seeing updates.  Again, email makes the most sense here.

Implementation

Some thoughts on how to do it.

  • Offer truncated summaries of each change, perhaps as a giant table.
  • Offer immediate, daily/nightly, or weekly notifications (per-user, not per watched page or area).
  • Permit users the ability to manipulate other users' watchlists, or at least administrators
    • Part of the thinking here is that the the very users who are reluctant to use the wiki will most need someone else to manage watchlists for them.

Email as print option

To encourage wiki users to generate and record their content directly into the wiki, there needs to be a means of sharing that content easily with other users--even those who never touch the wiki.

Business users will want and need an easy way to go from the old system (email) to the new system (wikis). 

TWiki has an add-on for this, and this one of the more frequently used features of our dear old, pre-DekiWiki TWiki installation.

Implementation

How to do it.

  • Include HTML version of page as body of email
  • Option to add brief note at the top of the page
  • Include a link back to the original page
  • Preserve as much formatting as possible, embedding CSS in tags if necessary

How about a general email service that run's curl/deki-api commands (from a configuration file) and passes the results through xslt and emails them off. You guys provide some base examples/functionality (e.g. page, watchlists) but the rest of the community can develop their own library of reports to share.

I see it as much more flexible and less work for you ;)
