Page Viewing and Editing

  • Show raw text
    • If someone does something cool, it would be nice to be able to look at it, even if you do not have editing capabilities.
    • MIKE - Hrm... isn't this a security hole though? You might not want people to see where the page content came from?
      • Dave: configurable by space. default disabled.
  • Better management of attachments
    • Date and user whom upload file (and version?)
    • Versioning or historic (like JSPwiki)
    • Custom field to comment or qualify attachment.
    • Update option to upload attachments with same name.
  • insert areas
    • swiki has insert areas, which are great for added content to a page. This is really a quick edit feature, and different than a comment which is separate from a page.
    • MIKE - I'll have a look at Swiki to find out how this works.
  • Make the words Last changed (or maybe the date) at the top of the page a shortcut to the revision page displaying the last changes made.
  • Smarter Messaging Dave.
    • Smart alert, send message N minutes after users last edit of a watched page. This would reduce the possibility of multiple messages being sent while a user is editing a page.
  • Support for definition lists. Many other Wikis (including JSPWiki, TikiWiki, Meatball Wiki, ...) support definition lists with a syntax like ;term:definition or *;term:definition. How about adding this to the Confluence markup? JIRA issue.
  • tables CONF-859

Charles Miller: 1.0 will be a little more intelligent about 404's

templates

  • set a default template for a space
    • CHARLES This would be quite useful in combination with the metadata tags, as you'd be able to define the default "starting tags" for a new page in the default template.
  • set a size of the text box for the variables CONF-789
  • Fields in templates to be actual fields when the page is edited (addressed in rc5)

Stylesheets

Nick Sieger How are stylesheets managed in the app currently? I know there's the look and feel section where you can either customize the colors or override the decorators. One approach is limited and the other one seems like a blunt instrument when all you want to do is change the stylesheet. What about a 'download current stylesheet' function, where you could provide a link to do what the styles/main.action does, and the stylesheet could be modified and re-uploaded either at the space or page level? I noticed that on the test site someone uploaded a .css file as an attachment – what if you could do this and then put a special macro in the body of the page to tell it to use the attached stylesheet? I realize this could be tricky because you may have already executed the header decorator by the time you're transforming the page body.
