Ongoing TWiki Work

Dakar Release

• email plugin authors, asking to review changes? are they still using twiki? are they still developing for twiki? etc.
• bug patches re:SVN
• updates/refresher packs (build, distribution, naming)
• twiki version numbering
• TWikiInstallerContrib?
  • .htaccess files

Pre-Edinburgh Development Process Updates

• TWikiKernel vs. TWiki(For)
• tinderbox - AlwaysShippable?
• plugins demonstration area
• unit/test scripts for *InstallerContrib modules (probably after reorganizing the modules?)
• move "kernel/core" into a twiki/ top-level directory (next to twikiplugins/) - also recommended by svn and eclipse
• svn checkin notifices #twiki (or #twiki-dev)
• svn checkins add link and svn checkin comment on its Bugs topic

Edinburgh Release

decide what's going to be in EdinburghRelease (personal priorities, personal tasks)

• solicit community...

Edinburgh Ideas

• mount points for svn trees?
• TWikiFederations? (imaging a Beowulf cluster of TWikis...) - Subversion (protocol)
  • offline editting
• outline editor!!!
• SisterSites? , InterwikiLink? , and FindElsewherePlugin? are related to each other.
  • eg, i want to be able to say FindElsewherePlugin? and have it link to TWiki:Plugins.FindElsewherePlugin (when it's not installed locally, that is, and FindElsewherePlugin? would find TWiki04x01.FindElsewherePlugin? instead
    • need to pull SisterSites? implementation out of o'wiki
    • import my o'wiki code into twiki.org svn

Future Development / Things To Think About

1. TemplateTopics using RE/mapping capabilities ?
   • eg, TWikiHackXXXXXXXXXX? and TWikiHackSomeNameITypeInExplicitly? could both automatically use TWikiHackTemplate? by default
2. how to extract information from the results of a search (eg, i want the h1's or a formfield to be shown for a summary topic page)
   • formfield can be used for this, but i want to extract from a page section or RE (or something like that)
3. move TWikiInstallerContrib? .pm into TWikiPluginInstaller? contrib ?
4. install mod_perl stuff
5. install ircd stuff
6. components issue; parts (extensions) want to modify other bits (or something...) also, next
7. install topics into a web
   • hm, TWikiPluginInstallerContrib? (to be TWikiExtensionInstallerContrib? ) but that would require more sophisticated directory remapping support
   • like for BlogPlugin? , ProjectPlannerPlugin? , DiscussionBoard? (or something along those lines), etc...
8. install curses source headers (ncurses.h)
9. different cpan bundles
   • by architecture (obviously)
   • bundling different groups of modules into different CpanContrib? 's ?
10. checkin IrcPlugin?
11. GetWebAddOnDev? - (pure) perl modules for imlementing unzip, tar, .tar.gz (see CpanContrib? /MANIFEST for hints)
