Generating an article from an email in mediawiki

I would like to be send an email to an address that mediawiki can pick up and have mediawiki take it and generate a new page from it as a starting point. More complicated stuff like categories can come later.

I have searched around on the web and not fou开发者_JAVA百科nd anything obvious.

I have not developed against mediawiki before but am an able and willing developer.

Thanks for any assistance provided.

There is this extension - EmailToWiki

It relies on a POP3 account being available and has been in Beta for a long time, but it may be a good start for what you want to do.

Have a daemon of some sort running on the server that picks up emails from an account (through POP protocol presumably), use the Mediawiki API to generate stub page.

Instead of a daemon, you could just have a cron job of some form.
