Here is a first run for a script that extracts the
contents of the wiki FAQ so it can be posted to the
dragonfly website.
Any comments? This script would be invoked via cron.
And would be used to keep the website and the FAQ
sync'ed.
TODO: add versioning so we can keep track of the changes
we are importing and send diffs to submit mailing list.
Note: Some of this could be done in the wiki, but thats
another project. :-) Anyone know how to program in php?
