I've spent the last few days playing around and trying to think the Wiki Way. As a result, my to-do list has changed considerably. Tops now is email notification (which would have been an aspect of the ticket tracking system) and templates (which will help keep things from getting too cluttered). Notification will have to be triggerable not just from changes to a page, but also from new links to that page. It would also be nice if there were a <?plugin include OtherPage> and if that include plugin could bring in more email notification requests from OtherPage. That way when someone makes a new page which "NeedsFinanceAssessment", and NeedsFinanceAssessment includes FinancePeople, it will all work out. I have a few questions: * Is there a proposal on board for templates as in the 1.3 task list? Is there some other wiki which does it right I should go look at? * Is there a reason to prefer [notify:JoeEdelman] for email alerts to "* JoeEdelman - joe at orbis-tertius.net" as per TWiki? * The /SubPages like on UseMod would be really easy to implement. Should they be? * Does anyone anywhere support "half-links" that don't show up in BackLinks? It seems one problem with categories is that even pages which just mention them or point to them as part of documentations are categorized. I suppose this could be fixed with a plugin. It seems like an un-wiki thing to do, but on the other hand, I don't want my users to have to read through noise. * Is there a good reason IsAProject is not a WikiWord? * I'm also interested in making a general search tool plugin that shows some meta data about every document it pulls up, or that pulls data from the page (<?plugin searchTable "*Person" age?> might look for lines beginning "Age: " and list what follows as a column in the results). Any thoughts? * I really want my searches to be able to tell me when a Category was added to a page, even if that page has been modified several times since then. Would it be possible to add a "ctime" to the link table? Thanks, Joe |
