A few notes [[AboutThisService]] for the ESW administrators....   Feel free to add things, offer motivations,
etc.   Also indicating how much it's an ESW thing vs. something you think every [[MoinMoin]] should have...

Ugh... [[WikiSpam]]!

[[SandroHawke]] and [[DanConnolly]] are looking for a few free minutes to upgrade to moin 1.2
to make it easier to revert [[WikiSpam]]. done! [[WikiUpgrade]]

[[MoinMoin]]:[[AntiSpamGlobalSolution]] looks interesting.

= Wishlist (To Do) =

favico

* a configuration issue

----

nicer css style

* see [[MoinMoin]]:[[HelpOnConfiguration/CascadingStyleSheets]]
* Turns out to be difficult; output doesn't set classes on everything it should. (like the footer), and uses        a lot of tables.
* try [[plain.css]] for a maybe-somewhat-better one.  ([[SandroHawke]] using it, but eh.....)
* the std wiki page uses absolute font-family names, absolute font-size, etc.   Ick. (''just changed                yesterday'')

----    

Maybe fix %TOPIC stuff from TWiki

----

Upgrade (to cvs stable version?), for pre-edit lock warning

* . after upgrade, use `moin-dump` to create static HTML version for archival backups

----

'''Maybe''' allow [[AcronymsInWikiNames]].

----

We need clear license terms... e.g. a [[CreativeCommons]] logo
right next to the 'save' button on the edit page.

----

oops... is the output of this service not XHTML happy? evidently not.   The [[MoinMoin]] folks say its on their
queue, but low, and are not interested in our help.

----

wow! [[DanConnolly]] thought you had to start new pages my making
links from existing pages... wants a "making new islands is
not cool" blurb in the "you can create this page now" text.
Settled for an [[IslandTopic]] rant for now.

----

Needless URL duplication? why have ?action=view instead of just a link to the 
topic itself. The 'clear comment' link you see after editing, in particular, encourages two URLs to get deployed for each Wiki topic.

----

Eeek! the ?action=subscribe thingy is an unsafe GET! (see [http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/get7 W3C TAG finding] for why we should care).

and the title search uses POST. [http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2004-03-16#T18-02-10 sigh]

It would be really nice to have the &date=1051027044 suffix be easier to control.   Something like a banner: ''You are looking at this wiki as it appeared on xxxxxxxxxx.   Enter different date: [    ] or _return_to_now_.''    It's of course a general web problem.   But getting it right in the wiki at least would allow wiki pages to be used like specs, with pointers to particular versions.   As it is now, the links out return you to the present automatically.

----

Allow HTML editing (eg with Amaya) of the pages for people who have such editors.

This would require roundtripping via HTML, but maybe that's possible.

Why does the [[LocalSiteMap]] for the front page only show one level?
