Things to do in the near future:

• 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 Wiki: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 MeatBall: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

See MoinMoinBugs

• 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 Wiki: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. * Wiki: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?'''

The following actions are needed:

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

Preference settings:

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