The icky wiki system is designed to be a very simple collaborative web authoring blah blah blah and so on.
goals for the icky wiki
- should integrate with SNF user system
- should be ridiculously easy to use
- should be reasonably fast
- should support multiple wikis from a single codebase
- should support private wikis (hmm… maybe)
fancy things the icky wiki won’t do
- support redirects (the ability to specify arbitrary link text should ameliorate this, though)
- support template tags and advanced layouts like tables
- show article version diffs (unless it’s easier than I assume it is)
- support private messaging
- support special page types, like user pages
- file uploads
fancy things i’d like the wiki to do, but would really complicate it
ability to edit a specific page section, like mediawiki wikis (e.g., wikipedia):
if i did this, i would also add in-place editing like 15 ways or flickr, but i’d have to replace the markdown parser with my own — currently icky wiki isn’t “aware” of page sections because that’s all handled by the view code and not the model code
“what links here” pages:as with the above, this could only be done by mixing up the view and model code — currently the icky wiki displays wiki links but doesn’t keep track of them
