7 I have converted the [GNU Hurd](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/)'s previous
8 web pages and previous wiki pages to a *[[ikiwiki]]* system; and all that while
9 preserving the previous content's history, which was stored in a CVS repository
10 for the HTML web pages and a TWiki RCS repository for the wiki; see
11 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/colophon.html>.
15 ## Stability of Separate Builds
17 The goal is that separate builds of the same source files should yield the
18 exactly same HTML code (of course, except for changes due to differences in
19 Markdown rendering, for example).
21 * Timestamps -- [[forum/ikiwiki__39__s_notion_of_time]], [[forum/How_does_ikiwiki_remember_times__63__]]
23 Git set's the current *mtime* when checking out files. The result is that
24 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contact_us.html> and
25 <http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/contact_us/> show different *Last
28 This can either be solved by adding a facility to Git to set the
29 checked-out files' *mtime* according to the *AuthorDate* / *CommitDate*
30 (which one...), or doing that retroactively with the
31 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/set_mtimes> script before building, or
32 with a ikiwiki-internal solution.
34 * HTML character entities
36 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/purify_html>
38 ## Tags -- [[bugs/tagged__40____41___matching_wikilinks]]
40 Tags should be a separate concept from wikilinks.
42 ### \[[!map]] behavior
44 The \[[!map]] on, for example,
45 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/tag/open_issue_hurd.html>, should not show
46 the complete hierarchy of pages, but instead just the pages that actually *do*
47 contain the \[[!tag open_issue_hurd]].
49 ## Anchors -- [[ikiwiki/wikilink/discussion]]
51 ## Default Content for Meta Values -- [[plugins/contrib/default_content_for___42__copyright__42___and___42__license__42__]]
53 This will decrease to be relevant, as we're going to add copyright and
54 licensing headers to every single file.
56 ## Texinfo -- [[plugins/contrib/texinfo]]
60 ## Shortcuts -- [[plugins/shortcut/discussion]]
62 ## \[[!meta redir]] -- [[todo/__42__forward__42__ing_functionality_for_the_meta_plugin]]
64 Implement a checker that makes sure that no pages that use \[[!meta redir]]
65 redirect to another page (and are thus considered legacy pages for providing
66 stable URLs, for example) are linked to from other wiki pages. This is useful
67 w.r.t. backlinks. Alternative, the backlinks to the \[[!meta redir]]-using
68 pages could perhaps be passed on to the referred-to page?
70 ## Sendmail -- [[todo/passwordauth:_sendmail_interface]]
72 ## Parentlinks -- [[bugs/non-existing_pages_in_parentlinks]]
74 ## Discussion Pages of Discussion Pages of...
76 Is it useful to have Discussion pages of Discussion pages (etc.)? -- On
77 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/building/cross-compiling/discussion.html>,
78 this possibility is offered.
80 ## Modifying [[plugins/inline]] for showing only an *appetizer*
82 Currently ikiwiki's inline plugin will either show the full page or nothing of
83 it. Often that's too much. One can manually use the [[plugins/toggle]] plugin
84 -- see the *News* section on <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/>. Adding a new
85 mode to the inline plugin to only show an *appetizer* ending with *... (read
86 on)* after a customizable amount of characters (or lines) would be a another
87 possibility. The *... (read on)* would then either toggle the full content
88 being displayed or link to the complete page.
90 ## Prefix For the HTML Title
92 The title of each page (as in `<html><head><title>`...) should be prefixed with
93 *GNU Project - GNU Hurd -*. We can either do this directly in `page.tmpl`, or
94 create a way to modify the `TITLE` template variable suitably.
96 ## Unverified -- these may be bugs, but have yet to be verified
98 * ikiwiki doesn't change its internal database when \[[!meta date]] /
99 \[[!meta updated]] are added / removed, and thusly these meta values are
100 not promulgated in RSS / Atom feeds.
102 * Complicated issue w.r.t. *no text was copied in this page*
103 ([[plugins/cutpaste]]) in RSS feed (only; not Atom?) under some conditions
104 (refresh only, but not rebuild?). Perhaps missing to read in / parse some
