Should this be used for 'Cookbook/Recipes' and 'Tips'? I ask here because I am nervous about updating 'master' pages but will if it's agreed. Let me also say here that I'm impressed with the improvements being made to Moin. I just (finally) upgraded to Moin 1.8.1 under apache/mod_wsgi on windows and it performs better than expected! The improvements I'm talking about though are mostly to the documentation. It's been recognized as an area that needs work and each release it has gotten better imho. Thanks moin developers/contributors/users! Here are a few areas that still need work (and by saying this I am sayiing I will try and add/update docs - *gulp*, now I've done it, jumped into the fire/comitted to doing something) but may need help making sure I understand things. 1. usage I'm always amazed at the way Moin can solve problems, but the answers have come from this list, not the docs. Specifically (and I'm going from memory, summarizing list discussion, some of these which I need to try, now that I'm able): - Paste from Word (when editing in GUI mode) as a way to convert html or word pages to wiki pages. Wins my best tip vote! - recent changes master page that shows changes from designated interwikis, acting as a master/department changes page for detail/subdepartments - others, but I'll try and address that in an actual howto page.. 2. features Moin often has the features, they just need to be discovered. This is unfortunate because others here at my work have been suggesting twiki, but I want to work in python :) The twiki front page is better from an eye candy perspective and highlighting its features than Moin. Maybe the features are more comprehensive? Twiki.net association/collaboration? 3. notes/comments/discussion page - There is this page http://moinmo.in/HelpOnLinking/NotesLinks, but I don't understand it. Is this like (inline) comments? http://moinmo.in/HelpOnComments Or http://moinmo.in/HelpOnConfiguration/SupplementationPage and why isn't this called 'DiscussionPage' since this appears to be a better name, follows 'Wikipedia' which makes it more familiar, easier to understand, imho. Seriously, why 'Supplementation'? (o.k. I am a bigoted native english speaker:) Perhaps all these features need to discussed on one enveloping 'HowTo' page. 4. out of date/obsolete stuff Universal to wiki's. Recognized. O.k., I've done enough complaining. Thanks for listening. Now maybe I can help... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Moin-user mailing list Moin-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/moin-user
