Currently, the script generates the email text, and I copy & paste its output to my email client. I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement a system where the emails were also sent automatically (I'm on linux, so possibly a shell script?), but if it's too difficult a task then I'm fine with

Hi Jmax-, Sandy just informed me of another hiccup. Judging by your contributions, you seem to be taking a break from the wiki for a while. Do you want to see if someone wants to adopt the bot? I'm not sure how that would work but that way you wouldn't have messages waiting everytime you logged on.

and I current run daily-article-l (which you can get to by clicking 'by email' on the main page). It's generated using a script (which Faraaz runs manually), and then he pastes the results into his email client, sends the email, and then approves it. I would prefer to fully automate the process. We

Thanks for considering helping us with this. One problem that may arise is that changes in the main page can often cause undesired results in the script's output; for example, the script has been appending "(more...)" to the end of all featured article descriptions since this text was added in to
320:
I believe that you are correct. I have nothing against nenolod, despite his continuous off-site assumptions of bad faith and threats to expose some sort of conspiracy. However, the fact is that his recent behavior of putting IRCd and IRC Services articles for deletion were done in a disruptive

Personally, I don't agree with the deletion of the InspIRCD article. I happen to have used it a few times, and despite my decision that I didn't think the software could scale properly, I feel that it is notable, and worthy of inclusion in at least the comparison of IRCd softwares article.
185:
Unless there is some way to safeguard against any changes made to the main page, I think it would be best for the script to automatically generate and send emails, but not approve it in mailman. This would ensure that a human checks over the emails first (it would only take a few seconds).
169:
considered doing this originally when Kate set it up, but the templates were not protected then (leading us to worry about a well timed vandalism). This no longer being the case, I would like to fully automate it. Would you be willing to help us do this?
281:, for two reasons. Firstly, "I can't stand idly by and let a troll vandalize this great encyclopedia to make a point" is inflammatory and unnecessary. Secondly, I think this is all a big misunderstanding, and RFC is needlessly confrontational.
377:
Ultimately my goal is to "lubricate a squeaky cog", not "squeak louder". So, given that, what do you propose should be done? I guess I can be bold, and simply remove his notices. I just don't want him to get the wrong idea. Thanks.
288:, correct? I believe he was simply convinced by Cacophony, and is applying a standard he wasn't aware of before. I can't see any evidence that this isn't the case, and he-said she-said accusations based on IRC are completely unhelpful.
203:
Thanks for your help- it's much appreciated. I'm not sure what you have access to now; do you have the source code for the original
Mkfamail script that Kate created? If not, I can email that to you with a list of its problems right
