List of not suitable features

These feature requests have been marked as NeedsARethink and been put aside because they don't fit the typical TWiki community. This does not necessarily mean that the idea is bad. It could be that the way it has been proposed or implemented (if it got that far) is not suitable for inclusion into the TWiki Core. There are three options at this point:

  1. It can either be rewritten to try and achive the same utility in different way, in which case it's CurrentState should be changed back to UnderInvestigation.
  2. Or it can be ImplementedAsExtension. Do not change it's CurrentState until the implementation is complete. Put Needs to be ImplementedAsExtension in it's OutstandingIssues field instead.
  3. If the feature request was submitted because of a misunderstanding due to insufficient documentation it could be changed to a DocRequest (use the form on the DocRequest topic or copy the DocRequestTopicTemplate into the topic and refactor).

Old WebForm Features

OLD WORKFLOW: The following is using the old WebForm workflow. We are now using ChangeProposals. Forms for creating new topics should have been removed. See WebCreateNewTopic for alternate forms.

Any topics listed here in dynamic tables will need to be converted from WebForm to the new ChangeProposalForm if you want to propose them for a release. Please read the preferred method to use for conversion.

These are enhancement requests or brainstorming ideas put aside because they don't fit the typical TWiki community.
