The very fact that
JeffMagus has proven this possible means that
others will follow, with or without his code.
If I were to
implement an
autonoder I would probably use
cURL or
wget or
Perl Net::HTTP rather than
Lynx, but no matter.
This is why I believe there should be an interface for E2 Imports, where one submits a single marked up file -- I guess one should earn XP before being allowed to use it.
Perhaps, like Slashdot, E2 should provide thinking time -- a period of time after editing a node during which node creation is not allowed. This wouldn't bother human noders, since they would not type quickly enough to notice, but an autonoder would barf.
