Raw Blame History

Plans and ideas for the future

  • 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.)
  • 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.
    • Make it easier to disable all sidebars and headers/footers, eg., for full screen mode.
    • More testing and optimizations for movile browsers, eg., http://www.operamini.com/demo/ Left sidebar had some minor issues in cellphones at some poitn.
  • Better page titles (include whole path hierarchy?)
  • 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
    • 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:
  • Include txt2tags as builtin alternative to markdown.

Future plans

  • Wanted apps:

    • Tagging, eg., append to _werc/tags
    • Related links sidebar generation.
    • Bug/issue tracking app.
    • 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 interface.

  • New (simplified) markdown implementation, ideally in C or awk (maybe smu/libsmu by gottox?):

    • Simplified
    • Tables
    • Images
    • Autogenerated anchors/navigation boxes
    • No inline html

Known 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?)
