CURRENT

• Spellchecker:
  
  • add a nice progress page, while the dictionary cache is built
    
  • add a means to build the dict.cache file from the command line
    
• Macro that lists all users that have an email address; a click on the user name sends the re-login URL to that email (and not more than once a day).
  
• Send a timestamp with the ?EditPage link, and then compare to the current timestamp; warn the user if page was edited since displaying.
  
• Now that we can identify certain authors (those who have set a user profile), we can avoid to create a backup copy if one author makes several changes; we have to remember who made the last save of a page, though.
  
• Implement the update script (copying new images etc.) described elsewhere on this page or MoinMoinIdeas.
  
  • By default, enable an as-if mode that shows what needs to be fixed.
    
  • Replace SystemPages by using the normal "save page" code, thus creating a backup copy of the page that was in the system. Only replace when diff shows the page needs updating.
    
• UserPreferences
  
  • Send a regular "changes" mail? (checkbox, plus frequency setting hourly/daily/weekly/etc.)
    
  • Other things like color, icons, menu?
    
  • On request, send email containing an URL to send the cookie
    
  • Steal ideas from MeatBall:Preferences
    
  • a CSS switch (needs more work on the formatter issue to really work)
    
  • configurable fonts, font sizes etc. (copy master CSS file to a user one, and send that)
    
• MoinMoinRefactoring
  
  • create a dir per page in the "backup" dir; provide an upgrade.py script to adapt existing wikis
    
    • or go all the way, and store pages as data/pages/<firstletter>/<pagename>/(current|meta|...|<timestamp>)
      
• Add backlink patch by Thomas Thurman
  
  • Page info: links to / from page.
    
• Add a link to EditThePageSimultaneously (or a link to a local copy) to the edit conflict message.
  
• [[?SiteMap]]: find the hotspots and create a hierarchical list of all pages (again, faster with caching)
  
• ProcessingInstructions
  
• Remember when someone starts to edit a page, and warn when someone else opens the same page for editing
  
• macro for the server time/date (pass the strftime string as an optional argument)
  
• Using the new zipfile module, add a download of all pages
  
• Some of IndexingScheme as macros
  
• Diffs:
  
  • Lynx-friendliness (keep >>> === <<< ?)
    
  • look at cvsweb code (color-coded, side-by-side comparisons)
    
  • or look at viewcvs www.lyra.org/viewcvs (a nicer python version of cvsweb with bonsai like features)
    
  • diff -y gives side by side comparisons
    
• Create MoinMoinI18n master sets (english help pages are done, see HelpIndex, translations are welcome)
  
• Document the config options (possibly after the refactoring)
  
• Check generated HTML code for conformity

FEATURES

• Script or macro to allow the creation of new wikis ==> ?WikiFarm
  
• Setup tool (cmd line or cgi): fetch/update from master set of system pages, create a new wiki from the master tarball, delete pages, ...
  
• Support URNs, see http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-daigle-uri-std-00.txt and http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hakala-isbn-00.txt
  
• Add ISBN links
  
  • ?IsbnInfo page and ISBN macro
    
  • pattern d{3}-d{8}-d{8}-?0-9xX
    
  • calculate checksum
    
  • Link icon to ?IsbnInfo page, and the ISBN number itself to the main URL
    
• Support for -- (&dash; ?), << and >> (french quotes) and possibly any (Latin-1) SGML entity.
  
• A ?RegisterInterest macro
  
• Add display of config params (lower/uppercase letterns) to the SystemInfo macro.
  
• Add a "news item" macro (edit page shows a special form)
  
• Implement http://sunir.org/apps/visits.pl
  
• Make a sitemap using GraphViz
  
• System Info: number edits, views, whatever.
  
• Add hidden field to editor, for two purposes:
  
  • recognize saves from the same author
    
  • prevent direct saves from outside (i.e. simple attacks), that did not load and parse the edittext page before saving
    
  • needs a way to save meta-info for a page
    
• Add change counter to RecentChanges
  
• Add ?PyUnit tests
  
• WikiName|s instead of the obsessive WikiName' ' ' ' ' 's (or use " " for escaping)
  
• Backslash escapes?
  
• Support &uuml; SgmlEntities
  
• Configuration outside the script proper (config file instead of moin_config.py)
  
• When a save is in conflict with another update, use the rcs/cvs merge process to create the new page, so the conflicts can be refactored. Warn the user of this!
  
• Write timings to a log file (cgi_log) when configured accordingly, so we can check for necessary optimizations.
  
• WikiWordStatistics (or just add counters to the WordIndex?)
  
• Document all ?MoinMoinUrlSchemes (i.e. action=whatever)
  
• Make a ?ZopeMoinMoin product, to compete with ZWiki product.
  
  • I'll certainly not have the time to climb the Zope learning curve in the near future. The new source structure would allow to simply add a zopemain.py companion to cgimain.py. Volunteers?

UserPreferences

• On request, send email containing an URL to send the cookie (i.e. login from a click into the email)
  
• Add password handling?
  

• Use text links instead of images on RecentChanges
  
• Checkbox: Send daily "changes" mail?
  
• Other things like color, icons, menu?
