Well, the nice thing about the script is that it doesn't have to be
on the same server as the wiki; i.e., you could run it on an external
Unix box somewhere.

This is what the "pmwe" and other scripts have traditionally done--
allow access to page editing from a commandline.
And in order to support comments/discussions in pages there's likely to
be an ?action=append (or maybe ?action=add) that exists strictly
for adding content to a page. A script could make good use of this.
Others have also discussed the possibility of creating an interface to
PmWiki using SOAP/XML-RPC calls, but it hasn't jumped up on my priority
that much (and appears only peripherally in PITS -- I forgot the number).
