# New [[Appropedia:Skin|skin]] - help with any part of this:
=== Extensions ===
## 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.
# 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?
# Fix RecentChanges cache (?) so it's possible to view more than 7 days. '''Solution''': <nowiki>$wgRCMaxAge        = 13 * 7 * 24 * 3600;        // 13 weeks</nowiki> <s>a simple code change which seems to produce something more like the intended results, at [[Appropedia:Site development/RC fix]].</s>
# 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]]
# mobile site for Appropedia


Wordpress issues:
* [[mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo]] - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.
# RSS feed - still getting blank line error in spite of extensive work to try and fix it (all the obvious fixes and a few obsure ones.) - ''Woozle gave a suggestion, which we'll follow up. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 04:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)''
* 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?
# 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?
