[ZWeb] Re: cut over ?
I dumped some process notes at http://zwiki.org/Zope3WikiMove . Here are some questions I had about the configuration at zope3.zwiki.org : - default markup ? Structured Text will remain the default unless there is a consensus to promote rst or something else for this wiki. - show subtopics ? Zwiki's automatic subtopics links are currently enabled. Generally I find they reduce manual work and increase visibility of the wiki content (having them is like proximity radar, not having them is like tunnel vision). But this wiki's content is structured to work without them, and you might prefer to just turn off that feature. - max_anonymous_links, max_identified_links An anti-spam feature; anonymous users and identified users (who have set a username in options) may only post a certain maximum number of external links per edit. This stops a lot of automated spam, but can also be annoying. Currently these are set to 0 and unlimited. - WikiName links ? Should bare WikiNames be linked ? A lot of the wiki uses these links. Currently enabled. - single bracket links ? Enabled. - mail out edits or comments by default ? The old wiki mails out all edits to subscribers. The new one will let subscribers choose all edits or just the comments and new pages, probably. Which should be configured for the current subscribers ? - mail-in ? Should new pages and comment replies via mail-in be allowed ? Currently disabled. - webdav, ftp access ? Currently disabled except for managers, probably. External editor is enabled for all.

Here are some questions I had about the configuration at zope3.zwiki.org : Another: - rating stars, on or off ? I think any kind of user rating data is a good idea and might be put to good use in unexpected ways later, so these are enabled. On the other hand, arguably we won't get a useful quantity of votes any time soon, they may look clunky in IE, and so could be considered clutter. ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web
Re: [ZWeb] Re: cut over ?
Thanks Fred, Kevin. A quick comment on subtopics - Showing all the subtopics makes the home page rather overwhelming. I Right now it is, I agree. I'll just note some alternatives: - sometimes that's just a sign that the hierarchy needs rearranging. For example those children could be moved up to the top level (leaving FrontPage with no children). - on a particular page you can customize the depth of subtopics shown, as at http://zopewiki.org/ZopeWiki . That can be good on a front page, though on the down side it's inconsistent and might add confusion. - if someone out there is motivated to make collapse/expand work, start at http://zwiki.org/HowToMakeContentsExpandable would be tempted to show the entire tree under a link labelled 'site map' That's the contents link. ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web
