Has anyone done, or thought about how to submit new stories via email?
In particular I'm interested in being able to email picture shares from
my Sprint camera phone and have a server side script parse the email,
grab the image and text and create a story out of it. I looked at the
Plugin docs and from the overview it doesn't look like that would be the
best way to go. I could be wrong, if so someone please help me
understand how to use the plugin mechanism to do this.
For my purposes I'll only need simple verification of the emails, by the
sender address and the format of the email itself. After that I want it
to become the featured story. If I get excited and want to keep going
I'll have the script add the photo to an album in my Gallery.
I'd like to hear peoples thoughts about this idea, and anything people
have already done that might relate, or help get me going. There might
me things I can do along the way to make it easier for people to reuse.
