The first of your templates seems complete enough for the LWN submission,
|
|
but what I had in mind was a template for the announcement so I could
|
|
write procmail rules to automatically compile these into a report.
|
|
|
|
For example, years ago we used a template to announce software changes
|
|
among a large group of developers where only some had access to CVS and
|
|
where we needed to update only select packages so as not to upset other
|
|
work. We classified our emails with rules for the subject line which
|
|
enabled us to use automated filters to update critical components while
|
|
alerting the recipient for other messages. You might also compare this
|
|
to the format used by fm.announce or c.o.l.a. to format their
|
|
announcements.
|
|
|
|
Thus, what I'd want to receive would be of the form:
|
|
|

Document: LDP-Announce-HOWTO
|
|
Author: Gary Murphy <garym@linux.ca>
|
|
Status: New Document

Submitted: October 23, 2000

Language: en
|

DocType: howto
|
|
Abstract: This is a brief guide to how the librarian at the LDP should send me the announcements so I can train a robot to post the announcments to LWP and perhaps even c.o.l.a. even when I am otherwise pre-occupied by my lame attempts to keep myself employed. Notice that this line is all on one line.
|
|
|
|
Certainly this could be rendered in an XML; this would be more
|
|
flexible, but would also complicate the parsing program and may take
|
|
more time to cobble than I have to spare. Simple keyword:value pairs
|
|
are easy to parse in Perl and I can use perl to stuff these into MySQL
|
|
where I can then run a cron job to pull them out and post them in time
|
|
for the LWN deadlines.
|
|
|
|
Obviously, if the To address is in the ldp.org domain, once I have a
|
|
fully automated system, we can move this to the LDP servers and I will
|
|
be out of (another) job ;)
