With all of the talk of a stable release, I'm going to be bold and ask for two features :-) First, we have a lot of people adding links using a interwiki link to a directory on a local web server. Unfortunately, they load their files via a network share, so they cut and paste the filenames into the wiki. The problem is that they don't fix the slashes, so they have dos slashes instead of web slashes, and all of their links are broken. The feature I would like is to have an option to check links and warn the user when they have updated a page with broken links. Second, I have noticed a lot of word documents being shared on our wiki. I feel that this somehow defeats the wikiness of our wiki ;-) I'd like to have them convert the documents to wiki, but that is quite an undertaking. I found a html2wiki php script at http://www.cvsnt.org/striphtml.php <http://www.cvsnt.org/striphtml.php> that Tony Hoyle (of CVSNT fame) modified. This would be a nice plugin to have, as I could then tell people to convert their docs to html and use that plugin to convert the html to wiki. Reini, when you get to a point you have the HEAD at a point you want it tested for a stable release, please shout out. I was able to get the head last week working fine, and I was about to put it in production here. I'll try and get any new release candidate running as quickly as possible since things seem to be working ok for me. Thanks, John Cole |

Another alternative might be catdoc, along with some magic Wikification. -- Evolution: Taking care of those too stupid to take care of themselves. |

I don't understand. savepage should check links? Well oh well, SpellChecker is similar, but in a higher queue. I don't think that this will make it. Maybe the new "Search & Replace" javascript button will help them. > Second, I have noticed a lot of word documents being shared on our > wiki.

There us something much better around, called office2wiki or such. Please google for it. We could add this to the edit_toolbar sooner or later, but I have many more ideas for this toolbar. Pulldowns of all plugins, Categories, ... This will need some time. > Reini, when you get to a point you have the HEAD at a point you want it > tested for a stable release, please shout out.

Just some remaining aesthetic issues need to be resolved (wikilens, edit_toolbar), then the tests can begin. Aah, I remember: Can you please test LDAP Auth with policy = old. I moved to a new office and don't have LDAP anymore ... -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ |
