What (summary)
- New page-building bot
- Still relies on Java/Tomcat to do crawling (for now)
- Carefully tested
Why this is important
- We need to have control over the pages that our created on our site.
- The old bot was known to pollute the database; we need control over all the access points that could screw up our data.
- Gaining mastery over the code so that we can add new features easily.
DoneDone
- Creates news pages based on a template
- Monitoring and logging have been added (tests whether or not the bot succeeds)
- Hooked in to all the old points Bot was
- Projects:BotTest problems fixed
Bot insertion points into Mediawiki
- /wiki/skins/common/generatePage.js (and some other javascript that we should remove)
- /wiki/extensions/AboutUsDomainRedirect/SpecialRedirectToDomain.php (deprecate and point to CaseSpace)
- /wiki/extensions/CaseSpace/CaseSpace.php (Ultimately, here is where the magic will happen.)
