Here's a wish list for the gardner :)

Ideas

... a place to collect ideas to make the garden even better ...

wiki

  • Are the <context> images rendered using gs? In that case, could -sDEVICE=pngalpha be used to get transparent images?
  • adding <xmlcode> (code highlighter is already written) or, if not too complicated, something more general like <code type="xml">, <code type="mp">, ...
  • 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

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

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
