Accessing wiki content from another web app

[Ahmed Kamal]

Hello,

I have been asked to work on building a consolidated web portal for 
everything that relates to Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud. Part of what I want 
to do is to gather lots of documentation pages from the wiki, and 
present them in a consolidated manner on that portal. I think it's a 
good idea to keep the content on the wiki, where it's easy to edit for 
everyone, while dynamically pulling content from the wiki to construct 
that consolidated reading material in an eye pleasing manner. The web 
application will most likely be a Django app. The way I am imagining how 
to pull this off, is to have the Django app connect to the wiki using 
its API (xmlrpc or similar) and pull the contents of its pages, which 
then renders them in a way that blends with the look and feel of the portal.

Since you are more experienced with documentation related issues, I 
would like to ask if the approach I am taking seems correct. Any 
feedback, pointers (or sample code) is more than welcome.

Please put me in To: when replying, since I'm not on the list

Kind Regards
