Hi Johannes, Well you asked for it.... None of the following are *necessary* by any stretch of the imagination, but they are things which I perceive as improving usability. I have *not* limited them to things which can easily be accomplished via a web interface:
1) Better options for ordering articles - specifically, it would be great if a block of articles could be moved at once. Ideally this would be through some sort of drag operation. (Yes, I know that operation can be accomplished by editing the collection page directly, and that's fine for now). 2) Ability to change the order of chapters while maintaining the chapter contents. (I see this almost like an outline mode where a chapter may consist of one or more sections, each containing one or more articles.) 3) Ability to "lock" a collection (or at least articles in the collection) so it represents a particular snapshot of the wiki content. This would be useful for places where the wiki is used to document a product - especially a software product - because it is likely that functionality will change in subsequent versions, but it may also be desirable to allow certain articles (for example a known issues one) to be rendered using the most recent entry. 4) Ability to specify some rendering options from the GUI. The main one which springs to mind is paper size. If the wiki is exposed internationally, then it may be desirable for LETTER size to be the default in America, while A4 (the current default) makes much more sense for Europe. From my point of view, it would be perfectly reasonable for any such settings to be stored in the collection 5) A mechanism to specify a book template. (E.g. When first created, a new book (collection) has a default set of pages such as an initial article giving details of the wiki from which it was generated, and an appendix page which shows the versions of the mwlib components used to create the output.) Just a few thoughts.... There will probably be more after I've used mwlib for a while. I'm still in my first week!
