Fwd: Re: [Seaside] Swiki API or Scrapers

Squeak - Dev mailing list
Good morning..

Pierce Ng suggested getting a current dump or mirror of the existing wiki.squeak.org

Below, I am reposting this thread on squeak-dev from the squeak-seaside list 

thx in advance


Good Morning.

Is anybody aware of a Swiki API or Scraper for grabbing and organizing the Swiki content?

Motive: 

I am in the very early alpha stages  for SeasideDoc http://menmachinesmaterials.com/SeasideDoc  

Currently, I am coding so that the native Squeak Help classes render as html5 via Seaside.

On the radar is grabbing the content from http://wiki.squeak.org/ , organize it "somehow" and displaying it as well.


thnx in advance




p.s. Goals for SeasideDoc include 
1. Native Squeak Help -> Html5 (current work)
2. Squeak Wiki -> SeasideDoc organized by "tags, topics, something"
3. "stack exchange" comment and entry style system
4. persistence
5. Exporting from HTML5 to Squeak Help, texinfo, "foo" formats.

I recall there is an export of the Squeak wiki content, each page
being saved as an XML file.

Ah found the convo:


One possibility might be to ask the current maintainers of the wiki to
do another export. Or, set up a mirror of that wiki, and you'll have all
the content in your mirror instance.
