Mark Hissink Muller

Thanks for visiting my page in Wikka. You can contact me at markNOS@PAMhissinkmuller.nl (remove the NOS_PAM-decoy).

Only recently discovered this site and I'm very enthousiastic about Wikka and WikkaRTE∞. I see a huge potential for Wikis in any place where people need to collaborate effectively (share) and at the same time build knowledge.

I integrated the Touchgraph∞ Linkbrowser with Wakka/Wacko to show visualization of pages through an engine-independant layer of abstraction which currently supports Wacko/Wakka- and PhpWiki. Let me know if you're interested in the code.

Some features I (would) like to see in Wakka∞/Wacko∞/Wikka:

• syntax highlighting for Java codesnippets

• table of contents for a particular page (in Wacko {{toc}})

• calendar-functionality (see WakkaCalendar∞ )
  • Hmm, the WakkaCalendar seems like a horrible kludge to me. Would you really want your wiki gunked up with a bunch of Calendar pages in the Index and Recent Changes? Take a look at the WakkaCalendar site's PageIndex∞ to see what I mean. -- JsnX
  • MHM: Point taken, this looks somewhat messy, the {{calendar}} should be optional -- 5/30/04
  • Just change (!preg_match("/^Comment/", $page["tag"])) to (!preg_match("/^Comment|[0-9]{8}/", $page["tag"])) in action/pageindex.pph and the you're done! - (!preg_match("/[A-Z,a-z]|[0-9]{8}/", $firstChar) in Wikka, I think. --AndreaRossato

• support for various table-implementations

• multilevel pages (see Wacko∞)

• multilevel table of contents (not sure need to check Wacko v4.0)

• filtered searching (pages which contain "foo" but do not contain "bar")
  • Done. -- JsnX 8/15/2004

• page refactoring (ability to rename a page and have all links to that page updated with the new name; maybe dangerous, as Wacko's RomanIvanov pointed out)
  • MHM: For the short run {{redirect}} (from Wacko) will help here. I'm investigating what it would take to build a refactoring-component in Java -- 5/30/04

• ability to select which languages are loaded on initial setup of database

• icons to cheer pages up (see: WikiIcons∞ )

• backlinks (like in Wacko∞, the ... right after the main pagename)
  • This is already there. Just click the page name in the header. But maybe it would be better to use the dots like Wacko does? -- JsnX
  • MHM: Ok, I had not seen this yet. For a structure which supports multi-level pages, the Wacko-way (clicking the page-name brings you to that particular page) allows you to quickly navigate back to a super-page and from there on to another page, which is quite useful. -- 5/30/04

• grouping users, ACL's for user groups (see WakkaAliases∞ )
  • Yes, this will likely be added in the future. -- JsnX
  • I tried to do something with ACLsWithUserGroups.

• page watching, notification when a page has changed
  • Hmm, this will be considered too. -- JsnX

• MindMap support∞

Feel free to add more or discuss things I posted.

Some more hacks are found at WakkaHacks∞

It would be great if effort could be joined for the various Wakka-forks. A lot of interesting things must be discussed on the WackoWiki.com∞-site, but unfortunately I don't speak/read Russian.

Cheers,
Mark
