 I would like to allow comments on ikiwiki pages without CGI.
-I have in mind something like
 
-  * Use a pagetemplate hook  
-    in a plugin (DONE)
-  * add a mailto: url to each page matching some pagespec
-    (currently every page gets a comment footer)
-  * this mailto url goes to an address identifying the page  (something like
-    user-iki-FE653b@host.fqdn.tld).  (DONE) 
-    > I wonder if it would be more or less natural to put an encoded form
-    > of the page name in the email address? I'm thinking about something
-    > like `wikiname+index@host` or `wikiname+todo+comment_by_mail@host`.
-    > The basic transformation would be to call `titlepage($page)` (in the
-    > C locale), followed by replacing "/" with "+" (since "/" is not
-    > valid in mails). --[[Joey]]
-    >> I guess you are right, there is no point being more obscure 
-    >> than necessary.  I am leaning towards   [something](http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/blog/posts/encoding) not        
-   >> calling titlepage but in the same spirit. --[[DavidBremner]]
-
-  * on the mail receiving end, these messages are either deleted, or ran through
-    a filter to be turned into blog posts.
-
-    - I'm thinking about how the filter should work. Within a 
-    mail client, or as a batch tool to scan a mailbox? How to    interact with version control, if at all?
-
-  * the same plugin can check for comments on a particular page next time the wiki 
-    is generated, and add a link. (more or less done)
-    > If the filter just checks in the posts into revision control, the
-    > post-commit hook would handle updating the wiki to include those
-    > posts as they come in. --[[Joey]]
-  * work in progress can be 
-
-   - [cloned](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/ikiperl.git), or 
-   - [browsed](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/?p=ikipostal.git;a=summary)

-Any comments? Write them here or send them to [[DavidBremner]]

-> I don't want to derail this with too much blue-skying, but I was thinking
-> earlier that it would be nice if ikiwiki could do something sensible with
-> mailbox files, such as turning them into a (threaded?) blog display.
-> 
-> One reason I was thinking about that was just that it would be nice to 
-> be able to use ikiwiki for mailing list archives. But another reason was
-> that it would be nice to solve the problem described in
-> [[discussion_page_as_blog]]. For that you really want a threaded system,
-> and mailbox file formats already have threading.
-> 
-> If that were done, it would tie into what you're working on in an
-> interesting way, since the incoming mail would only need to be committed to
-> the appropriate mailbox file, with ikiwiki then running to process it.
