To do list

The CSDMS Wiki was launched in March 2008. It is not a fully editable wiki in the sense that not everybody is able to contribute to all the CSDMS pages. It differs also from other wiki's (like Wikipedia) as the appearance of the site is different from any other wiki, but it has the same functionality as any other wiki!

And like how that goes with many other new features, there are still a few "hick ups" that we need to work on to get this Wiki operating flawless. The following list shows were the CSDMS-IF is working on. We encourage people to add new tasks to this list, as it will only make the Wiki more robust and user friendlier!

Please add your new task/suggestion at the top of this list:

  • Table of contents doesn't show up when people are not logged in and for some people it doesn't show up even if they are logged in.
  • Upgrade from Mediawiki 1.11.0 to 1.12.0 for security reasons
  • Include ConfirmEdit (installs the Captcha tool that create images with characters in it, that you than need to retype into a text box (security innovation))
  • Add "funding opportunity" page for the modeling community?
  • Bad URL message page will show up if you hit one of the white navigation bars, right after you log in Done (08/15/08). Redirected links for 1st start up screen.
  • Add random image selection option to make the CSDMS site more attractive. Done (08/14/08). Implemented extension and created a template {{Randomimage}} with over 140 images.
  • Add "Footnote extension"(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite). Done (08/12/08). See Help Formatting on how to use.
  • Incorporate the Geshi extension. Extension is meant to highlight source code. Done (08/11/08). See the table in Help:Formatting, "Source code highlight" for example.
  • Incorporate wiki extension that can create pdf documents out of any wiki page (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export). Done (08/11/08). See extra button in the Toolbox Print as PDF)
  • Create a "help" or "how to" wiki manual to provide inside in how to edit pages, format text, log in, etc. Done (08/11/08). See added button in the Toolbox (Wiki Help)
