One way that we could improve things here would be to provide an avenue whereby an external application could create a plain text file somewhere, and then issue a command to PmWiki telling it to update the page with the contents of the text file. Then PmWiki could handle generating all of the meta information it needs (targets=, invalidating caches, updating indexes, etc.). Suppose we have a "load directory" where external applications place the text content they want added to PmWiki. Then, when PmWiki is told (or detects) that there are new pages to be converted, it just does the conversion. Of course, the tricky part in this is managing the files in the directory. For example, after PmWiki has finished converting a text file in the load directory into a page, should it eliminate the original text file? Or should it leave it there, but somehow keep a marker of which files it has processed? Or what other options would there be?
