David,
I'm glad to participate to the Mylyn weekly call. Please let me know
when it's scheduled, this one
and next week I'm out of office most of the time ... unfortunately.
ciao,
Davide

I think this is a fantastic use case for the WikiText tools,
especially if the tools supported remote publishing as well as
local capture, providing a full round-trip with possibility for
version control, etc.. That sounds like it should be easy, but
its really not as you can't just FTP the WikiText to the remote.
The lack of a round-trip is a real barrier to having a really
good workflow for crowd sourced documentation.
(David, I think this might have also come up between us a
long-time back on one of your blog posts or something..)

Steffen,
After reading the thread it looks like connecting to
wikis could be in scope for Mylyn. You point about strong
community support still holds true, since we have no plans
to tackle such a feature in the short or long term.
Davide, if you'd like to discuss further this is
something that we could take up in the weekly Mylyn call.
Let me know if you're interested.
Remote wiki editing is beyond the scope of
Mylyn WikiText - in other words, not on the
roadmap. This is something that has come up
before, though I'm having troubles tracking
down the conversation.
thank you for your indications, I'm
going to look a those.
Regarding the possibility of a
remote editing of wiki pages
directly from Mylyn (Eclipse IDE),
is it on the road-map?
not yet considered, or already
discarded?
cheers,
Davide

Davide,
The editing features of
Mylyn WikiText are designed
for editing local files,
however Mylyn WikiText
provides API to make it easy
to embed a wiki markup
source editor in other
applications. It would be
relatively easy to create an
application that uses a
wiki's remote API to edit
pages using Mylyn WikiText.
A good place to start is
the WikiText
Developer Guide, org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.ui.editor.MarkupSourceViewer and org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.ui.editor.WikiTextSourceEditor.
I'm using Mylyn
(task/context/vcs) for
some time and in the
context of a EU
research project I'm
studying the
possibility to use the
WikiText component.
As first check I would
like to use it for
updating MediaWiki
pages.
Is it possible to
remotely edit a wiki
page?
thank you in advance
for your support and
the great work you're
doing with Mylyn.
