## online page editing * Eventually, might want page deletion. * Eventually, might want file upload. ## recentchanges * Should support RSS for notification of new and changed pages. This can be a static rss file that is generated when the moo is built. (As long as all changes to all pages is ok.) * Should support mail notification of new and changed pages. Hmm, should be easy to implement this.. it runs as a svn post-coommit hook already, so just look at the userdb, svnlook at what's changed, and send mails to people who have subscribed. A few details: 1. [[Joey]] mentioned that being able to subscribe to globs as well as explicitly named pages would be desirable. 2. I think that since we're using Perl on the backend, being able to let users craft their own arbitrary regexes would be good. Joey points out that this is actually a security hole, because Perl regexes let you embed (arbitrary?) Perl expressions inside them. Yuck! It would also be good to be able to subscribe to all pages except discussion pages or the SandBox: `* !*/discussion !sandobx`, maybe --[[Joey]] 3. Of course if you do that, you want to have form processing on the user page that lets them tune it, and probably choose literal or glob by default. The first cut, I suppose, could use one sendmail process to batch-mail all subscribers for a given page. However, in the long run, I can see users demanding a bit of feature creep: 4. Each user should be able to tune whether they see the actual diff parts or not. 5. Each user should be able to set a maximum desired email size. 6. We might want to support a user-specified shibboleth string that will be included in the email they receive so they can easily procmail the messages into a folder. --[[BrandenRobinson]] ## pluggable renderers I'm considering a configurable rendering pipeline for each supported filename extension. So for ".mdwn" files, it would send the content through linkify, markdown, and finalize, while for ".wiki" files it might send it through just a wiki formatter and finalize. This would allow not only supporting more types of markup, but changing what style of [[WikiLink]]s are supported, maybe some people want to add [[CamelCase]] for example, or don't like the [[SubPage/LinkingRules]]. The finalize step is where the page gets all the pretty junk around the edges, so that clearly needs to be pluggable too. There also needs to be a step before finalize, where stuff like lists of pages that linked back to it could be added to the page. However, doing linkbacks also needs to tie into the main logic, to determine what pages need to be renered, so maybe that won't be a plugin. ## revisit case Being case insensative is handy, but it does make the [[BackLinks]] a bit ugly compared to other links. It should be possible to support pagenames that have uppercase, while still allowing them to be linked to using any case. ## html Make the html valid. Add css. ## sigs Need a way to sign name in page that's easier to type than "--\[[Joey]]" and that includes the date. What syntax do other wikis use for this? I'm considering "\[[--]]" (with spaces removed) as it has a nice nmemonic. OTOH, adding additional syntax for this would be counter to one of the design goals for ikiwiki: keeping as much markup as possible out of the wiki and not adding nonstandard markup. And it's not significantly hard to type "--\[[Joey]]", and as to the date, we do have page history. ## recentchanges links to commit diffs Would take a bit more viewcvs integration, let the be a "[diff]" link in recentchanges that goes to the diff for any listed change. ## recentchanges more than 100 Possibly add "next 100" link to it, but OTOH, you can just use svn log if you need that data.. ## search * full text (use third-party tools?) * list of all missing pages * list of all pages or some kind of page map ## page indexes Might be nice to support automatically generating an index based on headers in a page, for long pages. The question is, how to turn on such an index? ## page locking Some wikis will need the abiity to lock a page, or the whole wiki, so that only admins can edit them. Probably using the same globbing as for recentchanges mails to determine what to lock. Probably it's ok if locking is only supported for web commits. ## [[Bugs]]
