It appears to only require python and cgi-bin to work so I'm kind of
wondering what it would take to get it working on a pygopherd or
something similar.
How would posting comments work, however? I guess you could use an
ASK form,
but no current clients support it (the only one I can think of off
the top
of my head is hgopher).
I guess that's one of the things that would have to be figured out.
Actually thinking about it isn't there a way to do simple input using
cgi scripting?
Looking at the instructions for Motsognir it seems it supports the
QUERY_STRING variable and since that is also supported by python:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_cgi_programming.htm
it seems possible at least in theory. That means as long as we can get
the data in/out of the cgi you could have python do the wiki stuff
behind the scenes.
This is definitely looking like a major rewrite if it's possible. I
still think it would be a worthwhile project.
Dammit. Now I'm wondering if I'm up to the task. *grump* Rusty
programming skills... *grump*
