The way Wikipedia does this is by allowing robot editors. The bots go through the wikitext and fix things, and everyone can see the changes the bot made. A human can rollback the changes if the bot does something stupid. If you already have versioning of the articles, and the ability to approve edits, then creating a "robot-link-adder" editor that runs on a cron job should be a concept that librarians and historians can understand. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
