uriel (Plan 9 wiki)

Note: Sadly, uriel passed away in 2012. His software projects, document archives, and tireless advocacy of non-harmful software are a lasting and significant contribution to the Plan 9 community.

Pending:

Integrate Inferno or 'native' dis in main Plan 9 distribution
Fix licenses to allow better sharing of components with other projects(troff, ?c, ...)
open up 9trouble
Release management plan(proposal: daily snapshots; full release every six months)
Installer/bootable system unification, floppy deprecation
Move ports page to wiki
Do something about comp.os.inferno and comp.lang.limbo (what about comp.os.plan9?)
issue/bug/task/feature tracking system? (bugfs?)
9grid.net update
Have http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/plan9/ updated

In progress:

Done:

Wont fix:

Extend to use of patch(1) with comments for all changes done to the main distribution. The people at the Labs just wont do it.

Make awk work properly (use rc for system and |, errstr, exits, more things that I forgot)

Current wiki short term features:

Make /n/sources/.. strings into links to the sources web interface(once it's up)
Nested lists(syntax still not decided)
Explicity syntax for headers and sub-headers(tentative syntax: << Second header >>), this is needed by wikis in languages that don't use latin alphabets.
Url-encode page names in the web interface.
The web interface for the wiki seems to not set the proper header to avoid browser caching in the wrong cases(need to investigate exact causes).
Script to check for broken wiki links
Display missing pages nicely, ie., return only index.html for missing pages only on walk, might break something?

Maybe:

A way to scape [ and ] - I have a partial fix for this, that makes [ not become a link(even when] appears later in the same line), but I can't find a sane way to have it displayed as a single braket, specially in acme(could be done for HTML interface but would be an ugly hack).
A way to force new lines - not sure how either, and probably not even a good idea.

Done:

New css based style for web interface
----- -> hr
Relative links
https links are broken (eg. https://lists.cse.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/9fans)
Add extra info to what's new
Replace "Edit" and "New" web pages with ones explaining that the web interface is disabled and acme is needed. (rsc removed the links, so not needed anymore)
Better display of html diffs, show deleted and changed text.

Acme's Wiki features and bugs

Better conflicting commit error reporting
Make Zerox work properly, in particular edits in Zeroxed window(Maybe fixed by AxelB's fixes?)

Make 'grow' operation show as much of the file as possible
A way for apps to enable the 'scratch' bit on windows
Make acme/Mail use the built-in Undo/Redo mechanisms
In acme/Mail 'save' should give some feedback to the current email page(maybe just make 'save' go away from tag bar?)
