hmm well - there is certainly a lot of stuff on nagios that is probably
not appropriate for fully automatic publishing but we could say use the
nagios escalation feature for certain services and let that drive the feed.
as for editing - nagios has an fairly easy way to set a scheduled
downtime for a given host/service (imho more easy than to edit a wiki)
but that wont work for stuff not there or special cases ...
