[Bug 4771] New: website improvement: database of detailed rule descriptions

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4771

           Summary: website improvement: database of detailed rule
                    descriptions
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Building & Packaging
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jm@jmason.org


It'd be nice to have a way for users/admins/interested parties to have an easy
way to look up a human-readable description of rules, based on the rule name;
something like:

  RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL

  A sending IP address is listed in the NJABL [link] blocklist as a member of an
ISP's dynamic IP address pool.  Normally these addresses should not deliver mail
directly to other ISPs.  (Click [here] for more info on dynamic IP pools.)


An easy way to implement this would be simply to use a prefix on
wiki.apache.org/spamassassin, e.g. have the above as

  http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL

Moin has good support for templates; for example, see
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinPatch and the way it creates subpages for
patches using a standardized patch-page template.

Doing a lookup of that would be pretty trivial; a CGI that simply redirects to
"http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/"+$rulename.

I wouldn't expect all the rules to be given description pages, but some could do
with them, and we don't have a lot of info there right now.

ok, this has been implemented on the site as of today; go forth and wikify,
anyone who fancies documenting some of the more confusing rules ;)
