Hello,<br>
<br>
I have been asked to work on building a consolidated web portal for<br>
everything that relates to Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud. Part of what I want<br>
to do is to gather lots of documentation pages from the wiki, and<br>
present them in a consolidated manner on that portal. I think it's a<br>
good idea to keep the content on the wiki, where it's easy to edit for<br>
everyone, while dynamically pulling content from the wiki to construct<br>
that consolidated reading material in an eye pleasing manner. The web<br>
application will most likely be a Django app. The way I am imagining how<br>
to pull this off, is to have the Django app connect to the wiki using<br>
its API (xmlrpc or similar) and pull the contents of its pages, which<br>
then renders them in a way that blends with the look and feel of the portal.<br>
<br>
Since you are more experienced with documentation related issues, I<br>
would like to ask if the approach I am taking seems correct. Any<br>
feedback, pointers (or sample code) is more than welcome.<br>
