| '''If you can help with any of these tasks, please add your name, a contact method and/or comments next to the one you can work on.

| Note: New features are tested first on the [http://whatissustainability.org/ development site], so don't worry - you won't risk crashing Appropedia.

| 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.
| | == High Priority == |
|
| |
|
| </noinclude>
| | All our highest priority tasks and all new tasks are placed at BetterMeans - see the [https://secure.bettermeans.com/projects/181/dashboard "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 [https://secure.bettermeans.com/projects/181 latest changes] and check the sub-workstreams. |
| 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]] - help with any part of this:
| | Some older tasks remain on this page, but eventually all should be transferred. |
| ## help install test skin on dev wiki - contact [[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]]
| |
| ## help choose color scheme. Like [[blogs:|blog]]? Something completely different?
| |
| ## edit CSS to achieve new color scheme.
| |
| ## Should we use a suitable background image? E.g. find an [http://images.google.com/images?as_st=y&as_rights=(cc_publicdomain|cc_attribute|cc_sharealike).-(cc_noncommercial|cc_nonderived)&hl=en&um=1&sa=1&q=&aq=f&oq=International development&aqi= open-licensed image] with a background that won't clash. Must have mostly white top-left (to not clash with logo) and look okay when repeated across and down the page. Maybe choose a sky/clouds or leaves pattern and fade towards white?
| |
| ## Translation link ([[Appropedia:Site_development/Desired_features#Translation]] - Machine translation from within the site.)
| |
| # Help with installing new extensions on the dev wiki - contact one of us (e.g. [[User talk:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]]) for details.
| |
| # Social & forum features. E.g.
| |
| ## within MediaWiki (like [http://www.gardenology.org/wiki/Special:AWCforum/sc/id1/Gardenology.org.html Gardenology's forum]; or [http://www.gardenology.org/wiki/Special:AWCforum Wikia's forum implementation] - both seem to use Stand Alone Forum Extension(?)
| |
| ## within Wordpress? See Wordpress section below.
| |
| # 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.)
| |
| ## Which extensions do we install to achieve this?
| |
| # 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/ .

| Hack extensions:

| # FCKeditor has a [[Appropedia talk:Village pump#How is the rich editor?|few problems]] - can help us to identify the areas of problem code, or even solve any of them?
| |
|
| |
|
| Extensions and settings to try out:
| | * [[mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo]] - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from. |
| # [[mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo]] - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.

| # ParserFunctions - the extension, or whatever gives Wikipedia the logical functions in templates, that we don't have.
| |
| # Wikipedia search features, [[Appropedia:Desired_features#Search_improvements]]. Including autosuggest: [[mw:Extension:OpenSearchXml]] - used on Wikipedia, works well.

| Wordpress issues:
| |
| # newsletter with MailPress (I tried but couldn't get mail servers set up. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 21:25, 24 February 2010 (UTC))
| |
| # Forum add-on? (From above, "Social & forum features") Extensions exist but how well do they work?
| |
| ## http://simplepressforum.com/ looks very well featured, and integrates with wordpress login.
| |
| ## If we can work out an automatic Wordpress-MediaWiki cross-login, this would be much nicer, less confusing. OpenID behind the scenes?
