Ideas that could possibly be implemented someday. Much less definite than the items in
/ToDo
- Housekeeping/editor comments section. (Allows hiding housekeeping remarks, housekeeping remarks do not update RecentChanges.
- Possibly general metadata updates, like category, keywords, ratings...
- World Peace
- In my vast amount of spare time.
- Unit tests
- Would save a lot of testing time.
- Unit tests might not be too hard if I reorganize the code to delay printing until the last possible moment, and have almost all subroutines return strings instead.
- Lists of pages
- Useful for categories
- Search results could be added to a list, used as input for another search
- Negative lists, like junk/silly/test pages not to be matched?
- Users (with logins) could keep a number of lists
- Users could share lists?
- Something like "Cliff's list of good XP pages".
- Simple access control for group pagelist editing?
- An easy way to create a new topic without a previous link
- Maybe a 'Create Page' link at the bottom of the page
- Might do searches on contained words
- I am working on this ! I had the same idea, we could use String:Approx function; this is proposed. 02.05.2004 TomGries
- Maybe "Create a new page" link somewhere?
- XML import/export
- Possibly separate application
- XML is probably too slow for use in a CGI
- The big speed hit would be loading the XML libraries
- Possible basis for more inter-wiki cooperation
- Alternate non-TAB and non-whitespace text editing.
- Currently available for simple lists
- * Text or ** Text or *** Text etc...
- New ideas:
- *:*Term:Definition (for definition lists)
- Optional whitespace before Term and/or Definition?
- *1* Text (for numbered lists.)
- Number of stars after 1 determines depth
- Maybe *1 (whitespace) as synonym for single-level?
- Allow a limited subset of HTML tags
- Mainly simple formatting
- No need for HTML experts to learn another editing set
- Do not allow HTML links?
- Admin preference, that allows admin to decide between: No HTML tags/visual effect HTML tags/previous + table tags
- Perhaps only if name is same as link target?
- RecentChanges improvements
- Optional (user pref) daily separated RC
- ...which shows a topic on each day it was edited.
- ...which shows how often a topic was edited each day.
- Useful to gague how long people have been interested in the topic.
