WISH LIST
Spell Check (I know it may be hard but my spelling is horrible)If you use MOZILLA there is a spell check or if you have the google toolbar installed- Add extra tool buttons on the edit page like there is on datafed (Examples: strike through, sup sub script, insert table exc..)
- search within PDF´s that are liked to the wiki
- Convert MediaWiki format into Latex format and vis versa Extension:Wiki2LaTeX
- Make tagging of internal wiki pages easier by being able to select categories form a cloud or a list.
Bugs
- When a new item is added with a form it does not appear until I think the Wikisysop does not click "refresh"
- When using Type:Enumeration as an attribute type and designating a [[Allows value:=[[page name]]]] so that you can link directly to a page. It disappears when you edit the page with a the form, and you have to reselect it. CAN LOSE DATA

List of Things for Erin
High Priority stuff is on the Discussion Tab of this page.
- Does not seem like the mathematical formula (latex) is activated (I checked it, still not working, see error below)
ERIN:Looked into the math again this morning and the instructions aren't so straightforward. I have asked Gene, the guy who set up our wikis to have a look, but Rudy suggested that you have a plan B. HTML works on the wiki, so that could be an alternate to show formulas.
Atti:I am not sure how to use HTML in the wiki yet, I will look into it. Any Guides that you know of?
- Enable Latex converter
- Some basic wiki language information at the bottom of the edit page
- Look into Google search capabilities for inside the wiki and it would be nice if it was in the sidebar (particularly external PDF that are link to the site) - added google search, but it doesn't seem to work as well on your wiki as it does on ours - maybe age?
- security protocol that u guys used with EPA and how to make some pages protected for internal and personal use
- The Big ONE: Make the template for the Reports have drop down lists for each of the tags fields and it would be nice to have and new tag as well.
- Check out this tag cloud feature when you edit the pages on datafedwiki. It has a bug right now, but if you like it we can figure it out.
- What do you think of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors for the wiki like Mediawiki+FCKeditor?
- How Do I Make the Text Right or Justified on the main page? Does not seam to work for me (I will look into it more)ç
- Add a TO DO LIST Erin TASK origenization
- Search is really bad is there anything that we can do?
- Link to Semantic tagging sites (image Ontology, conotia, i think you said) Image Annotation Article - good intro on tagging philosophy
I am thinking about what u said in the wiki about the clouds list. I like it..but could there be a way to filter it a little. Like what we said about the classes of tags. For instance have the tags split up by classes and then have individual tags clouds for the different classes.Anyway i like it..its a great start and i think it is worth having on the edit page just for consistency sake.. its a great start.
- Can not get the forms to work yet
Useful tools for Wiki
* ImageMagick or GD are required for image thumbnailing. * TeX is required for the in-line display of mathematical formulae. * Sendmail is required in order for the system to be able to send e-mails.
Maybe all this extensions could improve the workflow.
