Feedback on IndexGenAddOn

-- AleksandarErkalovic - 30 Apr 2007

Thanks you Aleksandar for sharing this add-on with the TWikiCommunity!

Some feedback for the next release:

• MochiKit is listed as "Other Dependencies", but the .zip lists pub/TWiki/MochiKit/. Remove dependency if the tool is shipped with this add-on.
• I added a SHORTDESCRIPTION so that it islisted properly by the reports in the Plugins web.
• I linked to the MochiKit website in one place and escaped the WikiWord in another place.
• Investigate if it makes sense to use the YahooUserInterfaceContrib instead of MochiKit. It looks like TWiki will standardize on YUI.
• Consider renaming the arrange script, it is not obvious where it belongs to. You could name it something like IndexGenAddOn.arrange, or package it as bin/IndexGenAddOn/arrange.
• Consider using a REST interface instead of a standalone arrange script.

After installing this addon there was an error about Function.pm. I determined that I had to install liblist-compare-perl on the server. The error is gone but there is not enough documentation for me to effectively use the generator. To begin with, I don't know what "your site" is asking for. I was able to create a title and save it but now what? Nevertheless, thank you. I will fiddle with it.

I just added more to the documentation. Let me know if this makes more sense.

Warning: Can't find topic Plugins._index works by me, but the definition of the look and feel does not work . Are the css tags not recognized? I am not a css profi, so I would ask for help.
