What (summary)
All "bot pages"--pages that have not been edited by a human--are served up dynamically based on bot-crawled metadata and a template. Changing the template will affect all bot pages near-instantaneously. When a bot page is edited, it is materialized and becomes a standard wiki page.
Why this is important
- We can't do anything to the huge number of domain pages out there.
- Solves numerous problems related to categories, related domains, etc.
DoneDone
- Detect whether a given page has only bot edits.
- When serving up a page, if it has only bot edits, serve up a ghost page instead.
- When a user edits a page, it is materialized and saved as a run of the mill wiki page.
- Build up the database of bot metadata based on either existing bot database or Michael's new web service.
- determine best way to store bot metadata.
- Build better parser cache that performs better given the long-tail characteristics of our site.
- Pending further analysis of site traffic
- DB persistence?
- Use WWW::Mechanize integration tests to ensure high code quality.
