Gone but not Forgotten
MegaTWiki was a development of PeterNixon that included some great ideas, as Peter said "on the road to TWiki OO". MegaTWiki was ahead of it's time, and a lot of it's features have been lost or implemented in the interim. Here's a list of the features that I think are worthy of reconsideration (with Peter's descriptions).| Feature | Subfeature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hierarchical Webs | Webs inside Webs inside Webs (i know, too much structure, but corporate weenies love this stuff)... cool side-effect is that sub-web preferences are inherited from the parent web. Links to hierarchical webs look like this: Asic_Products.Fire.Chip_Integration.WebHome, or this: Asic_Products/Fire/Chip_Integration.WebHome. | |
| Hierarchical Search | Enable or disable hierarchical searches (subwebs). This is useful for bubbling information up to the top of a hierarchical web from subwebs. | |
| New Web | creates a new web inside an existing web | |
| Rename Topic | renames topic, but handles renaming of references in hierarchical webs | |
| Skin Themes | One skin, many themes. useful for consistent look&feel, but with unique web identification | |
| RenameWeb | moves a web and renames all references to topics in that web in all other webs. You can move a web named Foo.Bar.Baz to a web named Foo.Baz.Bar, as long as Foo.Baz already exists | |
| Edit Preferences | Preference editing of both TWikiPreferences and WebPreferences in a gui! some folks have been asking for this... allows pick lists, text areas, ordered lists, and text entries. Has tendency to make WebPreferences a little unreadable, but that can be fixed later. | |
| (CC) I'd like this to be a general mechanism for editing preferences embedded using Set. I can imagine an interface that displays form-style edit boxes, as an alternative to the textarea. | ||
