WikiProxy

A web proxy Private Web that layers a Wiki namespace and auto-linking over non-wiki browser-readable pages, e.g EMail, other websites?

• use MetaWiki/WikiGraph as db
• what if you read a Wiki through a WikiProxy?
  • and what if you're reading a non-wiki page, but it has a WikiWord in it which is already linked to something?
  • in both cases the code has to be smart enough not to link a string that's (a) part of a tag, or (b) between href tags. (Other cases?)

As with WikiMail, deciding which namespace to support would be a killer.

• tie to sender/poster (e.g. in Twitter)?
• ah, think like Sister Sites - support a bunch of them!
  • hmm could lead to something like Blog Roll sharing via OPML...
  • but probably want a way to declare a primary for the page or session

Hmm, do this via Browser Extension instead of Proxy Server?

Perhaps this would make sense within a more enclosed environment, e.g. a given team's Collaboration Ware bundle... Which would also make sense in that a group could internally agree to use WikiWord styling in all contexts (and they would all be familiar with their shared namespace), not just in the TeamWiki.

• instead of wanting a Software Forge that included an Issue Tracker Wiki, integrated Version Control System viewer, Email List, etc., you could have separate web-based services read via WikiProxy.

More general NameSpace proxying: IntComm:LocalNameServer

Some more general Proxy Server tie-ins:

• Hmm, how does this relate to Annotation Systems?
• Hmm how about add Purple Numbers? (Wouldn't do anyone else any good if it's a local Proxy Server, but if public/shared...)
• And you could log what you're reading to a Personal WebArchive. And/or you could publish your "trail" to your Personal Web ...
• And how about Back Link-s across all (your) Sister Sites?

(Somehow, this reminds me of HappyNetBox, though that seems more like a PIM/Object Browser.)
