pages.

+* Both this plugin and the [[Gallery]] are turning out
to need to add a bunch of pages to the basewiki. I wonder what would be a
good way to do this, without bloating the basewiki when the plugins arn't
used. Perhaps the underlaydir concept needs to be expanded so it's a set

+Some more comments, on version 1.6. You seem to be making nice progress.
+
+changes.diff:
+
+* I don't really like the tarball approach. Doesn't feel like the right
+ approach somehow. A list of underlay directories feels to me like a
+ better approach. One reason is that it's more general than a tarball tied
+ to a given plugin. A list of underlay directories could also be used to
+ prefer a translated underlay, and use the english version of untranslated
+ pages, for example.
+ * I don't quite get what you want to do with the underlay directory, it sounds like
+ you have something pretty specific in mind. I can talk to you about that more
+ on IRC later(assuming my internet is working right).
+ * Basically the idea is to change `$config{underlaydir}` to an array..
+ Ok, take a look at the new `add_underlay()` function. You can now just
+ `add_underlay("wikiwyg")` and it'll look in
+ /usr/share/ikiwiki/wikiwyg/ for the files.
+* When is the WIKIWYG variable in misc.tmpl used?
+ * The WIKIWYG variable in misc.tmpl is used for the edit page. I believe that is what
+ you wanted me to do (Check Revision 3840).
+ * Ah, right.
+* Could you move the code that handles saving a page of the page into the
+ plugin? I just added an editcontent hook, which should allow you to do
+ that.
+ * Alright, np.
+* Your patch exports run_hooks, but I don't see the plugin using that.
+ * Yeah, that was from an earlier revision of my plugin, I just forgot to remove that.
+* I don't know about exporting pagetitle. So far, only the inline plugin
+ needs to use that function, I generally only export things after it's
+ clear a lot of plugins will need them.
+ * Just looked through the inline plugin. So if I want to use pagetitle in my code,
+ I have to use the IkiWiki package instead of IkiWiki::Plugin::Wikiwyg? Or would a
+ better approach be to just copy that function into the Wikiwyg plugin?
+ * You can just call `IkiWiki::pagetitle()`.
+ > Note: pagetitle is now exported.
+
+wikiwyg.tar.gz
+
+* Would it be possible to provide a diff between wikiwyg upstream and any
+ modifications you made to its files? I'm not sure which version you used,
+ so I'm seeing changes in diffing that I'm unsure if you made..
+ * <http://ikiwiki.xbaud.com/JavaScript_Diffs.tar.gz>, also emailed them to you
+ in case my internet goes down.
+ * Could you redo that with diff -u plz?
+ * Link is updated
+* If the files aren't modified, would it be better for users to get them
+ from the wikiwgy upstream, instead of including them in the plugin? (If so,
+ they'd go in their own Debian package..)
+ * The files *are* modified, but I doubt it will make a difference. There have
+ been no updates to Wikiwyg since 5/30/07 so I'm pretty sure it's unmaintained
+ now. Showdown is the same case, they haven't changed anything since SoC began.
+ I could separate them diff's though if you feel it is worth it.
+ * Well, from a packaging perspective, the question is whether some
+ other package might want to use the wikiwyg/showdown javascript
+ files. And whether your mods might break that. If the answers to
+ these questions are yes and no, then it would make sense to package
+ them as standalone packages rather than embedding them in ikiwiki.
+
+misc:
+
+* What are your thoughts on handling plugins? Just make preview do a
+ server-side callback?
+ * That is an option, however I was trying to avoid that due to bandwidth, cpu time
+ concerns (Two reasons I really like IkiWiki). I was planning on just manually
+ implementing some of the easier ones (such as img), however I'm still trying to
+ think of a way for the more complex ones.
+ * It just seems like it would never be able to support everything,
+ and would mean reimplementing stuff in javscript and would constantly
+ need to be kept up to date. Ikiwiki's preview is actually pretty
+ fast, the only real overhead being the cgi call.
+* How do I configure it to only support whole-page editing with wikiwyg and
+ not insert the javascript into html pages?
+ * There currently is no option to do that, however it is a 2 line change that I'll work
+ on after I finish typing this.
+* When editing a whole page with wikiwyg, I think it would be good to keep
+ the save, preview, cancel buttons at the bottom like they are in a
+ regular page edit. Also the comments box. Kind of a least suprise thing, so that enabling
+ wikiwyg for whole-page editing basically just changes how the edit box
+ behaves and keeps the rest of the behavior the same. And I think the preview
+ button should show a preview rendered server-side, like with a regular edit,
+ since such a preview is able to support all plugins.
+ * That's probably a good idea ;)
+
+Everything else looks fine and ready for merging. If, that is, you think
+I should include the plugin with all of its java code in ikiwiki. Thoughts?

+
+I'll start working on the changes... Let me know if you find anything else
+that needs to be changed. I'd be honored to have my code merged with IkiWiki :)

+--[[TaylorKillian]]
+
+I wonder if you've had a chance to make any of the remaining changes above?
+Even just some of the smaller changes would be much easier for you to
+do than for me, and it would be nice to get them sorted out before I
+merge it into ikiwiki. --[[Joey]
+
+None of the links for the WYSIWYG editor work anymore. Does anyone have an up to date link?
