gnus interface for wiki(pedia) discussions

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello


I know that gnus can read a RSS feed, via 	gnus-group-make-rss-group.

Does anybody know about a package which does the same for discussions
in wiki(pedia).

Such discussions are long files threads are indicated via :


That is

Here comes my text
:that is my response
::and that is mine

The problem is that the data and the author of that threats usually is
not  added, there is also no possibility to download such discussion
in mbox format.

In any case a discussion can be downloaded to xemacs, if an external
editor is configured appropriately, the question is could such file
with the formating described above be displayed with gnus. Even better
could replies be added? An idea would be to consider those as local
messages. Once that is done, one returns to fundamental mode and
submits the file.

Does anybody now about such a feature?

Thanks

The Wikipedia discussion HTML actually looks parseable (shouldn't that
be a word? ispell disagrees):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode

However, there isn't much there to parse.  Few dates, some have names,
some do not, no subjects...

I'd suggest that Wikipedia makes their discussion interface more
discussioney, and then publish it on an nntp interface as well as the
web.  :-)
