Version 1 of New features requested for wiki

Updated 2002-09-19 03:57:23

On Sep 18, 2002, a BOF at the 2002 Tcl conference on wiki future brought up the following ideas for future enhancements.

  • diff pages (particularly for large pages)
  • trustworthiness of "embedded" code - seeing diff helps to see if someone has sabotaged
  • put edit page on top of screen - perhaps stylesheets would help
  • tool to search within page ?
  • improve search speed - particularly incremental search and rendering in localized mode
  • access to cvs history of each page, with ability to replace current page from a particular point in the cvs history (to fix defacement)
  • meta-refresh of recent change page needs to either go or be configurable
  • ability to mark some pages are read-only so that some pages cannot be deleted/defaced
  • distinguish between wiki features and tcler's wiki.
  • ability to upload image page to server for display inline (with concerns on proper content concerns)
  • ability to moderate pages
  • authentication before permitting upload (or other administrative privs)
  • ability to digitally sign parts of pages - improve ability to trust code
  • Ability to associate IP address with wiki name (so that name might appear beside changed pages)
  • better search capability (search with context shown) - google like search
