WikiWishes

[Alexander Poslavsky]

Hi guys,

it seems there is movement in the fullfullment of the wikiwish-list,
today we met with Simon Michael in the Ubuntu-doc channel and we went
over the current wish-list and what we need to make the wiki better
the it is right now.
Please add your suggestions and why we need it, also say what change
you would like to see first.

Further down is a copy from:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/WikiWishlist, check the link as well,
it might have been updated.

===============================
Rewrite of the !WikiWishes List
===============================

.. This is the result of an irc discussion at #ubuntu-doc

1. persistent login (keep a cookie for a period of time, week,month?)
2. moin-like markup explanation (for each page type), when editing
3. the changes page has many issues
		* An RSS feed (mail subscription, partly covers this)
	        * Include deleted pages (http://zwiki.org/RecycleBin is nice)
		* In moin has a feature which allows the user to set a bookmark timestamp
		* RecentChanges calls everything new, even if it is just an update,
very confusing. 				* New, updated and removed as indicator would be
much more usefull.
		* Usernames in recentchanges are not clickable (this one is really annoying)
4. Table Of Contents (ReST and moin)
		* moin-like table of contents macro for moin pages
	        * ReST has something already sm said, we need to find it in the docs.
5. moin: page list regular expresions
		* [[PageList(Howto$.*)]]   
		* [[FullSearch()]]
6. consider installing PTS for skin i18n
(http://zopewiki.org/PlacelessTranslationService)
		* Would be good for other languages.
7. in moin we had icons, flags, road-signs etc
		* Might be moot, we have icons all over the place already.
8. The frontpage has a recent items, block (left-top) stuff from the
wiki does not go there, or how can the doc-team add content there?
9. Add a spelling checker to the editor.
10. make optional change note, not optional (sm doesn't like the idea,
i do, what about you?)
11. could the favourites box be added as a useroption?
12. moin:  internal wiki links with labels - [wiki:ThisPage Description]
13. ReST literal blocks are wiki-processed (URLs, square brackets,
WikiNames).This is a Bad Thing, as it prevents copy/paste of C or
Python code to work reliably. (`bugzilla entry
<http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3629>`__)
14. In moin-page the little squared bullets do not show right
(`bugzilla entry <http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3613>`__)
15. http://zwiki.org/IssueTracker would be a nice addition (needs dtml)
