Re: [General] Updating the wiki

[Reid Ellis]

+ What features do people like about the current wiki? I like the wiki-ness of the wikis. I always feel free to fix things, add notes, etc. Attachments work really well, and help communicate ideas. + What features are missing from the current wiki? Well I wouldn't call this "missing features", but.. I don't like the number of wikis. I think "Projects" and "Journals" should be merged - it doesn't serve any purpose to separate them. We can just have a top-level topic called "Journals" under which those kinds of things can go. If anything, we should have "Chandler" and "Cosmo" as wikis. For the hierarchy issue, an automatic two-level tree of child and grandchild pages, perhaps in the left sidebar of the parent page would help a lot. The wiki has the information, it's just not being displayed. Is this a job for a plugin? Would it kill performance? Also, I seem to be experiencing a bug with the latest wiki upgrade: http://chandler.tnir.org/2006/09/osaf-wiki-issue-stuck-cookie Apply grains of salt as needed.. :-) Reid On Sep 18, 2006, at 13:09, Priscilla Chung wrote: We're trying to kick start the wiki project again. First I'd like to ask everyone to answer the following: + What features are missing from the current wiki? Here are my examples. Please copy and paste in your answers: + What features do people like about the current wiki? 1. The page loading are fairly quick–I use checkpoint a lot. 2. The editor is simple. Easy to use, easy to find. As long as you're not doing anything to complicated. 3. Finding the Cosmo project page (which is the pages I'm in the most) is on the left nav and fairly easy to find. + What features are missing from the current wiki? 1. Information hierarchy problem and I cannot locate pages directly when I need them. 2. If you want to do something a bit more complicated in the WYSIWYG editor, it starts to act funny. ie. adding tables. 3. A better search engine. Difficulty finding pages. Maybe because there is an OSAF site, OSAF blog, wiki, bugzilla and addition HTML pages for specs?? -Priscilla
