If you do this atop Fossil, then you end up inches away from being able to provide an oft-wanted feature: email notifications on checkins, wiki article changes, and other Fossil events. > Web-form only post and reply makes it much easier to control spam. Consider allowing editing as well. I’ve found that I’ve become accustomed to pushing “submit” earlier than I would have in the past, due to Stack Exchange, Hacker News, VCSes, etc. because you can later correct typos, grammar errors, and clarity problems; but with email, once it’s sent, it’s unchangeable. Hence, I’ve been making increasing numbers of spelling, grammar, and clarity errors in mailing list posts. This would be easy to build atop Fossil, being only a slight tweak on its normal use case. > I would like to provide users the option to send messages formatted > using Markdown. Are there Markdown libraries available in TCL that I > can use, that you know of? This is another thing you’d get for free by building it atop Fossil. Is there anything wrong with making this web/email feature set dependent on linking Fossil with the platform Tcl, so that you have access to the full Tcl ecosystem, as opposed to Jim Tcl? That in turn would open the door to Tcl hooks. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
