[Phpwiki-talk] Where to Document New Plugins?

[Arthaey A. <ar...@gm...>]

Where is the appropriate place to document new/work-in-progress
plugins? I've written an interlinear plugin for myself, along with a
documentation page. May I add it to the PhpWiki and tag it as
CategoryNextWikiR&D? If not, could I at least get feedback through
this list?

Until I have permission to add info about my plugin to the official
PhpWiki site, I'll be hosting it at my own wiki:

  http://arthaey.mine.nu:8080/wiki/index.php/InterlinearPlugin

phpwiki is open for discussion. You don't need permission from the 
mailinglist.
   http://www.phpwiki.org/InterlinearPlugin

Add it under CategoryNextWikiSuggestions.
Just the name is not really clear to me.
Maybe you like "LinguisticExplanation" or "LinguisticBreakdown" better?

Great. And I suppose you can always admin-remove pages you really
don't think belong. I'll add the description to PhpWiki once we agree
on a name for the plugin.

Well, the linguistic term for it *is* interlinear... I googled for the
term to see what came up, but no sites called this kind of
presentation of sentences anything of than an interlinear
representation. Would "InterlinearTranslation" or "InterlinearText" be
clearer to non-linguists?

I've added a "linguistic-terms" boolean argument to the plugin, which
will give you non-technical terms for each line of the interlinear
when turned off. However, the options have been giving me trouble a
bit, not setting when it seems like they should. Are all name=value
pairs on the first line of the plugin automatically parsed?

I've added my plugin's info to PhpWiki under the name
InterlinearTranslationPlugin. I would appreciate comments!

Also, it would be great if more experienced plugin-writers would give
me some suggestions on ways to improve the code. (I'm learning PHP via
my knowledge of Perl and reading the existing PhpWiki plugins. :) )

It's just Crao with the grays colorized to light blue-grays. The
modification is only in the css file. When I'm done tweaking
everything, I probably will add the theme somewhere official. :)

Crao's bottom toolbar that floats and therefore is always available is
a large reason why I chose it to start my theme from. Similar idea to
a sidebar, just at the bottom instead of the side.

Thanks! :)
