Appropedia:Site development/priorities: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:03, 9 July 2011

The following list is transcluded on the Desired features page and Appropedia:How you can help.

High Priority

All our highest priority tasks and all new tasks are placed at BetterMeans - see the "Appropedia Tech" dashboard for a listing of tasks. Look for higher priority tasks, i.e. with a red arrow pointing up, to the right of the "start" button. See also the latest changes and check the sub-workstreams.

Some older tasks remain on this page, but eventually all should be transferred.

Extensions

mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.
FCKeditor has a few problems - can you help us to identify the areas of problem code, or even solve any of them?

Fixed

-The following list is transcluded on the [[Appropedia:Site development/Desired features|Desired features]] page and some other pages, to draw attention to these requests.

Look for higher priority tasks, i.e. with a red arrow pointing up, to the right of the "start" button.

-These are the very highest priorities for new features and fixes on Appropedia, in rough order. Can you find a concrete task (big or small) to help with? Leave a note on the {{talk page}} - thanks!
-# New [[Appropedia:Skin|skin]] - very important to make Appropedia an enjoyable and usable site for visitors.
+See also:
-# Social & forum features within our MediaWiki or Wordpress sites?
+* [[Appropedia:Site development/dev site status]]
-# Adding semantic features without some of the non-user-friendly aspects of [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ Semantic MediaWiki]. How does SMW work with FCKEditor? Which features of SMW should we turn on? (Off: Inline semantic information is probably confusing to newbies unless handled very cleverly in WYSIWYG. On: Allowing users to view the intersection of categories would be a very useful feature. On: Project tracking.)
-# Fix RecentChanges cache (?) so it's possible to view more than 7 days.
-# A box on the navbar letting people easily email friends about the page they're viewing. "Tell a friend about this site. Email addresses will not be saved or used for any other purpose."
-# Map/geotagging features. (What do we want? Allow searching by distance from location...)
-# Develop a plan for grading articles and flagging them according to accuracy, reliability, usefulness. This raises many issues, including the weighting given to ranking by regular users compared to "expert" users. The ''Flagged Revisions'' extension is likely to be important, and so is the voting extension used on http://usability.wikimedia.org/ .
-# [[mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo]]  - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.
-# [[mw:Extension:MultiUpload]] - speed file upload.
-# ParserFunctions - the extension, or whatever gives Wikipedia the logical functions in templates, that we don't have.
-# [[Appropedia:Desired features#Banner for visitors from partner sites|Banner for visitors from partner sites]]

+* [[mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo]] - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.
+* FCKeditor has a [[Appropedia talk:Village pump#How is the rich editor?|few problems]] - can you help us to identify the areas of problem code, or even solve any of them?
-There are ''many'' priorities - these are a select few. Only add or remove items here by consensus or after discussion with an admin.
-Please add other priorities to [[Appropedia:Site development/Desired features]] in the appropriate section, using the standard template there.
