Here's a wish list for the gardner :)

Ideas
... a place to collect ideas to make the garden even better ...
wiki
- Q: Are the
<context>
images rendered using gs? In that case, could-sDEVICE=pngalpha
be used to get transparent images? A: Yes. The sandbox is setup to use the-sDEVICE=pngalpha
But after that imagemagick is used. Could anybody try it or give me an example where the transparency could be used? - Q: adding
<xmlcode>
(code highlighter is already written) or, if not too complicated, something more general like<code type="xml">
,<code type="mp">
, ... A: This is quite hard I'd guess. - Q: adding
<latex>
counterpart to<context>
; mostly in order to be able to compare LaTeX and ConTeXt results or to be able to describe the desired result in Category:From LaTeX A: no problem, would the layout (colors, etc.) change?
archive
- Q: Is it possible to download attachments? A: I have 'disabled' (by removing the link) downloading attachments. Lurker offers part of the message as an attachment for download. This might include email addresses and I don't want to reveal them without changing. I fear that I would also change the integrity of the attachments with my perlscript. So: they are there but not linked. I'll write this down on my todo list.
- Q: I vaguely remember you were talking about using some other program for the html-ization (instead of / next to Lurker). Is that likely to happen any time soon? A: Not in the next two months. But I think around that time: yes. It will not use lurker as a backend
articles
(Comment from the gardener: articles will be the first service which will change completely. I will try to use ruby on rails for that one. Thanks for the suggestions, I will implement them --pg )
- archiving articles (if allowed) or at least adding direct URLs to them
- sort by author/magazine number/title
- a form to submit proposals for new entries
- maybe: adding talks in conferences (EuroTeX, ...)
- unimportant: exporting bibtex entries about the magazine (in plain and Taco's format)
dl
live
- selector to choose the ConTeXt version
mirror
modules
source
- displaying
*.hyp
and*.pat
files as plain text instead of"sorry, I don't know how to display the file"
- displaying
*.ori
files, xml syntax highlighting for*.fo
files - adding
<a name="line xxx">
at the beginning of every line in the source code as to be able to reference to a certain line in hyperlinks (on the other hand: it may be a bad idea to be able to point to a certain line since the files are a subject to change) - perhaps adding
<a name="ccedilla">
to places where\definecharacter
stands in a similar way as the alt name= are added in front of\def\somecommand
(on the other hand: a bad idea since there may be more than two definitions of a single named character in one file) - serching/highlighting more that one word
- if the user comes from google, parse the URL for
&q=somequery
and add?search=somequery
at the end of the new URL
- Example: if someone searches for hack in google and follows the link to supp-vis.tex, the site http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/supp-vis.tex?search=hack would open instead
texshow
general
- adding http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif interface to contextgarden
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search"> <table> <tr> <td><img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif" alt="Google" border="0"></td> <td> <input name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="" type="text"> <input name="btnG" value="Search" type="submit"> <input name="domains" value="contextgarden.net;pragma-ade.com;ctan.org" type="hidden"> <input name="sitesearch" value="contextgarden.net" type="hidden"> </td> </tr> </table> </form>
- this is probably not so easy, but it would be great if there would be a way, similar to the interwiki functionality, which would allow linking from one garden module to another, say:
- [[source:context.tex]] to link to http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/context.tex
- [[texshow:section]] to link to http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ts.rb?what=desc&cmd=section (behaviour of frames should be fixed for that)
- [[texshow:de:abschnitt]] to link to http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ts.rb?what=desc&if=de&cmd=section
- ??? to link to messages/threads in the archive
