I am now introducing a Swiki in the Arts department. They use it for building knowledge-trees for Architecture, Arts, etc.. We use default-schemes for the classification branches of the tree and a modified survey-scheme for hanging in pictures with annotation fields.
If we declare a branch to be an end-node, we change the child-page in that modified survey-thing. Creating an leaf on your own, you must edit a new star-link on such modified survey-main page. Little wish: is it possible to have a button on the survey page that initiates that action? (Create a daughter-page of the survey-page with the survey template? Little wish2: If you edit this modified survey page again and again, you get added spaces in your text-boxes. How can I rtepair this? Observation: If you create a survey page and then upload a file, a star-hyperlink will be added to the first textbox of your survey form. (I like this!) But people find it hard to understand that you first must create a page, fill in some text and save it BEFORE you add a picture to that page. Big wish: In my endeavour to change the world in fill-in forms, i was thinking about the next one: Educators like to have maps that show popup-information when you hoover over some area. To create these, you must use toolkits: Would it not be nice to have a fill-in form with a grid on it. You put your image under the grid and then (in edit mode hoover over that image.) In a small window you see your x/y-coordinates. When you press on your mouse, this x/y-window fixates and you can move to the fill-in table on the second part of your edit-page. Fill-in these coordinates and the information (and/or action-expression?) you want to show to the user in showview mode. (Hoovering shows the info, clicking activates like "menu-choices"..) The next links inspired me: http://www.pagetutor.com/pagetutor/makapage/picker/ especially the next one: http://the-light.com/colclick.html -----Original Message----- From: Jochen F.

It seems to me that a "don't send e-mail alerts" check-box might be useful for addressing both 1) and 2). Are other people interested in that? As far as 3), you can do that using the swiki browser. Check out: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki/35 for starting the SwikiBrowser. Click on refs -- 1st panel Click on templates (page) -- 2nd panel Click on editText -- 4th panel Change "rows=20 cols=70" to something larger. Save changes (Alt-s). Done. Peace and Luck!
