Plans and Ideas for the Future
|
||
|
|
==============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This page lists various assorted ideas and features that have been proposed at
|
||
|
|
some point or another, nothing (except fixing the listed bugs) is assured to be
|
||
|
|
implemented, many things here might turn out to be bad ideas.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Features
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Review ideas from: http://www.w3.org/TR/chips/ and http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI and see if we can do better.
|
||
|
|
* Canonize and redirect all requests, we already do this for things like missing or trailing /, should do the same for /. and /./, etc. Deleting trailing . and , should make pasted urls in emails work as links (**Mostly done in RC1**)
|
||
|
|
* Blog:
|
||
|
|
* Comment threading.
|
||
|
|
* Some form of pagination (taking advantage of history browsing.) (**Partially done**)
|
||
|
|
* Sitemaps:
|
||
|
|
* Index pages should be used for description of directories.
|
||
|
|
* Cache web sitemap generation. (**Done in RC0**)
|
||
|
|
* Layout improvements:
|
||
|
|
* Need to find a way to rig the order of items in the sidebar.
|
||
|
|
* Right sidebar.
|
||
|
|
* Top+left/right nav vars (breadcrumbs at the top, current dir listing on the side)
|
||
|
|
* Make it easier to disable all sidebars and headers/footers, eg., for full screen mode.
|
||
|
|
* More testing and optimizations for mobile browsers, eg., http://www.operamini.com/demo/ Left sidebar had some minor issues in cellphones at some point.
|
||
|
|
* Better page titles (include whole path hierarchy?) (**Partially done, is it good enough now?**)
|
||
|
|
* Allow utf-8 characters in path elements (need to make sure this is safe, and not sure how useful it will be)
|
||
|
|
* General code:
|
||
|
|
* Write a regression test suite. (*Started*)
|
||
|
|
* Replace all references to non p9p/p9 programs (*Done?*)
|
||
|
|
* Document better the 'API' for sub-apps, both a set of environment vars apps can rely on (and in some cases set) and functions they can call (WIP).
|
||
|
|
* Better generation of descriptive HTML META tags, eg.,: {META name="description" content="This is the Google Summer of Code blog for Plan9 and Inferno projects."} {META name="keywords" content="google, summer of code, inferno, plan9, programming"}
|
||
|
|
* Should add werc to certain wikipedia lists:
|
||
|
|
* `http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems`
|
||
|
|
* `http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software`
|
||
|
|
* Include txt2tags as builtin alternative to markdown.
|
||
|
|
* Spam protection:
|
||
|
|
* Mathematic pseudo-CAPTCHA ala WP's 'Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin'.
|
||
|
|
* kfx (via cinap) suggests you just put a hidden text input box (or textarea?), "Dont write in this input box: [ ..... ]", if the bots fill it out ignore the post

Future Plans and Blue Sky
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Wanted [apps](/apps/):
|
||
|
|
* Tagging, eg., append to _werc/tags
|
||
|
|
* Related links sidebar generation.
|
||
|
|
* [Bug/issue tracking app](/apps/gregor/).
|
||
|
|
* Hg/git repository browser.
|
||
|
|
* Implement AtomPub.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Further modularization and extensibility (meta-templates) (Is the new app framework enough for this?)
|
||
|
|
* A way to wrap external cgi applications (eg., existing hg/git browser)
|
||
|
|
* A way to generate static sites (ie., use werc as an offline templating system)
|
||
|
|
* [9P](http://9p.cat-v.org) interface.
|
||
|
|
* New (simplified) markdown implementation, ideally in C or awk (maybe smu/libsmu by gottox?), yiyus great md2html.awk is a great start!
|
||
|
|
* Simplified
|
||
|
|
* Tables
|
||
|
|
* Images
|
||
|
|
* Autogenerated anchors/navigation boxes
|
||
|
|
* No inline html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Similar frameworks to be investigated and mined for good ideas to steal:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* TinyTim: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/duplicates/dbaee/
|
||
|
|
* nanoblogger: http://nanoblogger.sourceforge.net/

Known Bugs
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It seems that certain chars are not propely encoded in cookies, possibly broken chars: :&%[+ Fix should go in cgilib.rc^set_cookie (Have to figure out the proper way to scape cookie strings first)
|
||
|
|
* If a dir under apps/ doesn't contain an app.rc file, werc fails to start. A possible fix would be to replace $werc_apps default with `apps/*/app.rc` instead of `apps/*/`, this would be backwards incompatible, but I doubt anyone uses that option.
|
||
|
|
* Links in Blagh feeds become confused if markdown 'references' are used, markdown references suck, but I guess we need to address this somehow...
|
||
|
|
* Somewhat similarly to the abouve, relative urls in imgs, links, etc. can easily break when used in Blagh posts, so it is not all markdown's fault.
|
||
|
|
* .md files of the following form, without a new line after the last = seem to cause problems in some setups:

Fixed or WFM Bugs
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Sitemap can handle $dirfilter inconsistently from other places (**fixed**).
|
||
|
|
* Finding directories that are inaccessible (-rx) can generate an infinite loop (**Works for me? Fixed with new menu code?**)
|
||
|
|
* Some cat-v.org bits still left over here and there, should make them configurable (1.0 blocker) (**fixed**?)
