[Zope] RE: [squishdot] Mailing Content into Zope/Squishdot

I'm doing this with an email address that runs a Python program that uses
xmlrpc to insert items in Squishdot.  It's actually pretty straightforward,
the only catch is that many of the Squishdot methods are missing doc strings
and are thus inaccesible to xmlrpc.  Adding a blank docstring to the method
you need is a trivial edit to the sources.

I can post the code I'm using for this if you want, but the details of what
I'm doing for our site may be less useful than the general explanation...
