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.) (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.
- 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?)
- 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:
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.
- Mathematic pseudo-CAPTCHA ala WP's 'Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin'.
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?)
