Re: [WebMacro-user] Re: Wiki Source Code Update; Please Confirm

[Lane S. <la...@op...>]

ebr,

mark and brian make good points.

Since the wiki source tree is undergoing an upgrade to v2.0, how about 
we do the following:

a) page attachments (add, remove, view)
b) new user registration notification letter to moderators; thank you 
letter to user
c) subscribe to page (on change, email page as html attachment)

This, in addition to my new features:

a) private/public wiki,
b) approvability

The totality of the above features would give our wiki a unique matrix 
of benefits. Yes, there are some things we are missing too. But, hey, we 
move slowly but in the right direction.

-Lane

Although my wiki is down at the moment due to a hardware issue, it does run on OS/2, so I would probably be screwed if you changed Xapian... it doesn't seem to have been ported to OS/2 and I don't have a lot of confidence in autoconf on OS/2.
