[Zope-CMF] Re: Working Offline :-S

[Ben Riga]

Tres,

  I really like that idea.  PhotoPoint uses this as a easy method of
submitting photos to your online album.  I was surprised at how easy and
intuitive this turned out to be.  PhotoPoint uses subject line keywords
(http://www.photopoint.com/help/keywords.html) to pass information about the
content (photos) along to the server.

On that note, I've been considering a proposal to add content via
e-mail:

  - Sender doesn't need to be "online" while composing (think, laptop at
    the beach, or on a convention floor).

  - Sender doesn't have to think (hard) about metadata;  we would harvest
    much of it from the RFC[2]+822 headers.  Those who did want to signal
    it (e.g., for 'Subject') could do so using the "stock" STX
representation::

     Subject: mail-in, content, authoring

  - People are already used to creating content this way.

  - Makes STX a "natural" means of creating content.

  - We could do something reasonable with MIME attachments.

Now, if I only had this implemented, I could CC
"Members.tseaver.proposals@cmf.zope.org" with this mail and get it
created for me. :)

I am not paying much attention to that project (not that it isn't
important;  just that it is on somebody else's plate).  The fishbowl
for it is at:
