CURRENT

• The bookmark update action needs to get the time of the page loading as a parameter. Otherwíse you might lose changes between loading RecentChanges and clicking on "update my bookmark".
• 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.
• UserPreferences
  • Button/link to snapshot the current time, then hilight any changes made after that
  • 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.
• [[WantedPages]] macro (this will be awfully slow w/o some database or caching!)
• [[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)
  • 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

See MoinMoinBugs

FEATURES

• [[FullSearchList(regex)]] analogous to [[PageList(regex)]] but does a grep -l regex and returns the list of pages. Good for Category pages. Already thought of this, since it's a natural improvement.
• Setup tool (cmd line or cgi): fetch/update from master set of system pages, create a new wiki from the master tarball, delete pages, ...
• Template pages, that you can use to create new pages with uniform layout (related to news/guestbook/etc. 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 of pages, 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 (refactor to modules first?).
• 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?
