On Sep 18, 2002, a BOF at the 2002 Tcl conference on wiki future brought up the following ideas for future enhancements. Notes by LV.
- 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
- import/export capability of data for the wiki to aid in use as personal notebook apps from local mode menu rather than running seperate script.
- easy branding of wiki
- tcler's wiki should stay a tcl version
- ability to use tcler's wiki in local mode is very useful
