I'm looking at ikiwiki both for my personal site but also as a
|
|
|
|
|
team-documentation management system for a small-sized group of UNIX
|
|
|
|
|
sysadmins.

|
|
* my edits should appear either as 'Jon' (if I've used
|
2009-10-28 14:53:41 +01:00
|
|
|
[[tips/untrusted_git_push]]); 'jmtd.net', 'jmtd.livejournal.com',

2009-11-11 20:12:37 +01:00

|
|
'jmtd' if I've forgotten to set my local git config properly,
|
2009-10-28 14:53:41 +01:00
|
|
|
or once upon a time 'alcopop.org/me/openid/' or 'jondowland'.

I gave a talk at the [UK UNIX User's Group](http://www.ukuug.org/) annual
|
2009-10-28 14:53:58 +01:00
|
|
|
[Linux conference](http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2008/) in 2008 about
|
|
|
|
|
organising system administrator documentation. Roughly a third of this talk
|
|
|
|
|
was discussing IkiWiki in some technical detail and suggesting it as a good
|
|
|
|
|
piece of software for this task.

I am also working on some ikiwiki hacks:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-10-23 13:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
* [[todo/allow site-wide meta definitions]]
|
2009-10-28 14:55:03 +01:00
|
|
|
* Improving the means by which you can migrate from mediawiki to
|
|
|
|
|
IkiWiki. See [[tips/convert mediawiki to ikiwiki]] and the
|
|
|
|
|
[[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin.

I am mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [[bugs/the login page is unclear when multiple methods exist]]
|
|
|
|
|
* [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]
|
|
|
|
|
* [[todo/CSS classes for links]]
|
2009-11-12 15:41:57 +01:00
|
|
|
* [[todo/adjust commit message for rename, remove]]
|
2009-10-23 13:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following I have been looking at, but are on the back-burner:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-18 12:35:52 +02:00
|
|
|
* an alternative approach to [[plugins/comments]] (see
|
|
|
|
|
[[todo/more flexible inline postform]] for one piece of the puzzle;
|
|
|
|
|
<http://dev.jmtd.net/comments/> for some investigation into making the post
|
2009-10-02 23:31:40 +02:00
|
|
|
form more integrated); possibly also [[todo/pagespec to disable ikiwiki directives]]
|
2009-05-18 12:35:52 +02:00
|
|
|
* a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]] (see also
|
|
|
|
|
[[todo/interactive todo lists]] and <http://dev.jmtd.net/outliner/> for the
|
|
|
|
|
current WIP).
|
2009-11-10 17:33:01 +01:00
|
|
|
* a `tag2` plugin, which does the same thing as [[plugins/tag]], but
|
|
|
|
|
does not sit on top of [[ikiwiki/wikilink]]s, so does not result in
|
|
|
|
|
bugs such as [[bugs/tagged() matching wikilinks]]. Code for this lives
|
|
|
|
|
in my github `tag2` branch: <http://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki>

Penultimately, the following are merely half-formed thoughts:
|
2009-11-10 17:24:57 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* adding and removing tags to pages via the edit form by ticking and
|
|
|
|
|
unticking checkboxes next to a tag name (rather than entering the
|
|
|
|
|
directive into the text of the page directly)
|
|
|
|
|
* perhaps the same for meta
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, backlinks (since I have issues with the current backlinks
|
|
|
|
|
implementation, see [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]):
