Scott Evans (www.antisleep.com) has come up with a nifty utility that lets you plug in the URL for a website and then scans the Wikipedia for entries matching words or terms on the site you selected. The "Wikipedizer" returns the results as an xml page with links for each entry. More:
It's a REST-based query, so all you have to do is substitute the URL of the page you want scanned for the phrase "yourURLhere" in the address below and put the resulting address into your browser address box (also delete the backslash at the beginning of the address):
\http://www.antisleep.com/wikipedizer/?url=http://yourURLhere
A useful application, say, for students documenting open source software--no need to look up each term separately. Better than ROBOhelp!
While you're on antisleep, take a look at Scott's Infoblox tool.
Wikipedizer
Cool idea. I wonder, though, if it might not bog down things too much. All those searches on wikipedia must be a drain on their server. I hope that Jimmy can work out a system for wikipedia that works more like a P2P network. I don't like the idea of a "centralized wiki control" very much anyway.
