[LEDE-DEV] LEDE/OpenWrt firmware wizard

[Alberto Bursi]

Would providing the text files which are the actual source of the wiki 
pages help making this fully automated?

The source text file is already structured to be parsed by the wiki PHP 
engine that generates the webpage.

This is an example (same page as linked):

===== Dataentry =====

'other' -> request new devicetype @wiki admin

I have a script running weekly in that server to update the package 
lists/tables. It's easy to add a few lines that will make a zip file 
with all these dataentry text files and then place it in the webserver 
folder so you can retrieve it with wget.

I just need to ask tmomas on details (where I can place the zip file so 
it is retrievable from the web) and also if he has any objections (as 
I'm not the server owner/maintainer).
