Writing at Philippe's request in the hope that someone at the Hack-a-ton this
weekend can work on it.

Because of the severity of threats of harm we want to try and create a way for
staff members to be notified when one could require action. To do this we would
like to create a script (perhaps on cron) to help. It would want to:

* Search specific pages (At first English Wikipedia's Administrator Noticeboard
(Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard) and the Incidents subpage
(Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents)

* Fetch the current copy of the page and look for specific phrases or words
(example: 'bomb threat', 'suicide', 'threat of harm')

* When a flagged word or phrase is found email specified people telling them
a. That a flagged word had been found
b. The word that was found (and if possible the name of the section where it
was found)
c. A  link to the page (and if possible the section) where the word was found.

* Not trigger another email if it sees the same phrase, in the same location,
within the next x hours (2?)

* Repeat the search every 5 minutes 

Obviously an interface wouldn't really be necessary (or a good use of time) but
making it relatively easy for someone with the access to change would be great
as well.
