Patch proposals
Doh!
- XHTML+CSS output.
- DigestedSummary: an idea of beauty.
- GlobalSearchAndReplace: a must, even with EditableTitles.
Yes, in some form:
- AcademicCitation: Don't like the idea of making citations LinkPatterns. One page per citation? What was that thing about ShallowPages again?
- EditableTitle: Yes, if we distinguish between active and deprecated aliases. A shared LinkVocabulary is pretty important
- MachineInterface: Bayle's been working on a number of different interfaces in WikiGateway, but most of them are RPC (I'm more of a REST guy). There is the Atom API, but I'm not sure how well it'll map to Wikis.
- Unified MetadataSyntax: could be used in solving LinkingWithoutIndexing, AcademicCitations, EditableTitle, PageDeletion, N''otIndexed and PageRedirect. Inventing special syntax is boring, edit-field-rot is ugly.
Don't care:
No!:
- UserSkin: this is in some sense implied by the MachineInterface, which is okay. I'm against anything beyond the standard rendering module for the MeatballWiki script.
Don't know yet:
- DigestedChanges
- NotIndexed
- DifferenceSuggestions - which one of 'em?
- WritersLog

Johannes, I'd like to welcome you at Meatball, too. Maybe it's not the very best time to drop in, for I think we are all a bit tired from discussions. Sorry for that. Have a drink, look around, feel at home, become a friend. Is there anything you'd like to do here? Anything I or we can do for you? -- HelmutLeitner
Thank you for your welcome. I have two reasons for choosing this moment to drop in. I've been watching Meatball for two to three months now and I feel, as Sunir noted, that the endgame of the discussions surrounding SpaghettiWiki has begun. It seems appropriate to become a member on a fresh start, rather than during those discussions, as I don't think they would have benefited from more participants. I noted the other reason on Wiki:JohannesGijsbers right before I wrote the comment above, as it also concerns Wiki, but please read it.
As for my GoalStatement (I think that's what you're asking for, albeit not directly), I'm still unclear on it. For now, I can only say 'I want to learn', what and how remains to be seen. Before reaching Ha, Meatball was mostly a tool to solve problems on Wiki. Now I'm starting to feel like I have something to contribute, although it may not be much.
Ah, I see master JuneKim at work again. No, don't feel pressed for a goal statement, that would be much to early. Enjoy the freedoms of a guest for a month or two, become a regular contributor for a few months, then think about goals, if you feel a need to.
If you think that you have not so much to contribute - don't think about that. GoByCar. Build a history of cooperation and trust. Nobody knows the questions that will turn up and who will hold the technical or social clues. -- HelmutLeitner
