INCOMPLETE - Feature - Moving files (and directories) is very important. The Shop module has the idea of a 'pallet' which you put items into and then move or alias them into other categories. Likewise the Pages module will have a 'binder', an erzatz clipboard that allows the user to 'take' a group of pages and/or directories, navigate to another directory and either move or copy (or alias) them to that location. - Define - Med

INCOMPLETE - Feature - skyWriter should offer a search facility to search within the current page (once this works, how hard would a replace function be?). - Define - Med
-
INCOMPLETE - Feature - skyWriter should open in a window with menus and status bar (this was initially suggested in order to be able to search the contents of the skyWriter - this doesn't actually work, as search cannot see 'into' the form elements. - Define - Med
-
INCOMPLETE - Feature - PageCurrent and PageFooter, add support for Server-Side Includes. The present code hands over the source of the page without preprocessing for SSIs, instead write code to imitate the automatic functionality. Find spec. - Define - Med

INCOMPLETE - Feature - Master Archive, a link to deselect - Define - Med
-
COMPLETE - Feature - Master Archive, 'new page scheduled for now' link - Design - Med
-
INCOMPLETE - Feature - on skyWrite 'save as new' link to make a new version with the changes in the textarea - unclear when this new time version would be scheduled for - probably deprecated by new drafts functionality - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - FA - select a txt file, click HTMLize - operate on the contents of the txt to replace double CR with p tag, single CR with br, and tab with double nbsp, saves new content to samename.html. Is it possible to HTMLize a section of text in the skyWriter from a link? Or the whole file in skyWriter, at least? - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - privileging such that any series or variant may have itself write-protected from all but a select group of users (or protected from just a small group) - the series would vanish from the file archive for anyone without write privs - the master archive could conceal the variant - or a lock and no link could indicate that a file exists but is not accessable - the same Hide, Read-Only, etc. seven-level scheme should work perfectly
Directory access is also an issue - perhaps an .htaccess-type file in each to contain user privileges - whether they are allowed to read the dir struct, create or delete dirs, create or delete files, etc.
- Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - Autoversioning to unapproved drafts - anyone (yes, anyone, no password necessary (just an email address) can edit any page - their edit is logged against their IP and email address as an unapproved draft which will not serve unless switched on by the page (series) maintainer - the maintainer can then review it and merge those changes with the next approved (scheduled) version - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - Another setting for comments that exposes the add a comment form (textarea with submit) right in the footer, further encouraging an off-the-cuff comment - spill five latest comments in mousetype to encourage discussion - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - A memo field for header text and footer text for each page series, administrable from series settings textareas - the contents get dropped into the head and foot of each variant as it is served - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - pages privileging should block any users from editing a a whole series, individual time variants, any range of time variants (i.e. lock out editing of past pages, or lock an author out of editing any page less than a week or day in the future, to allow an editor period), or any individual or range of locales (i.e. the Mexican Spanish author is not allowed to stumble into the Spanish Spanish variants) - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - Automasthead - allow the authors to configure masthead elements (banner image, scheduled date and time, served date and time, location, etc.) through series settings the same way the footer elements are now - autogenerate them into the page right after the body tag - Design - High
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - 'Cookies enabled' in browser should be checked and a warning should be given - Design - High
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - a flag could disable a (time variant of a) page, effectively removing it from the pArc and causing it not to appear in pageCurrent's search results - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - FA should offer sorting of the file list (click on column heading) - also listing should be able to be easily limited to different types of files
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - PageSeriesSettings.asp should include three new buttons along the bottom - Hide All, Show All, Show All After Login (the default for new installs (which default can be set for the Pages Module globally))
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - PageSeriesSettings.asp should offer a preview/sample footer at the bottom of the page so the admin can see what the footer will look like
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - offer invisible tables mode
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - directories only/files only links in the File Archive
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - author comments should be notable for each (time, language and draft) variant

- INCOMPLETE - Feature - log every edit w/ userID and MSStamp - offer log browsing and last mod
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - MA should offer full scope list when adding many pages
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - publish a snapshot of a directory structure to a deployment server at the click of a button as static files - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - skyWriter should offer a "make a new time-variant page in this series" link - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - semaphoring and notifications may require use of the skyPulse - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - skyFiles can do web whacking - save a the contents of a URL and all of its images, then move on to any pages it links to - use XMLHTTP/server-side requests - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - automate page/site import - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - optional toggled descriptions of pages in the persistent archive - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - notifications of page edits/accesses/changeovers
I am interested in being notified when:
- Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - pages types - keywords - or search whole content? - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - permissions should be linked to from the FA - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - log every access to a file - this becomes a matter of record, linked to from the details about a file - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - Page Series Setttings should go to a two column format from three - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - the Master Archive generates pages at intervals of one scope apart, regardless of DST issues - perhaps it should be brought forward to reflect newer technology in EventsAdd and ReservationsAdd - Design - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - as of link and return to present link and traveller tool
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - File Archive needs to check whether a file exists before it does anything at all since another user may have edited the name/deleted it.
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - ASP in skyPages? - necessary for skyLights - Define - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - include files in skyPages? - necessary for skyLights - Define - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - Other interesting things to see about a version are size in k and number of lines (for at a glance change detection). - Define - Med
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - FA and MA - put header in separate frame so scroll doesn't remove it from view - see controlsFrame/listingFrame design - design - high
- COMPLETE - Feature - set the skyWrite cookie on normal login - design - high
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - a keystroke for save in skyWrite - design - high
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - note selection in header - In the File Archive and Master Archive show the selected file name at the top of the pagein place of Files: since the selection may be scrolled off the bottom of the frame - probably deprecated by new controlsFrame/listingFrame design - design - high
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - Flush buffers on FA and MA - Design - High
- INCOMPLETE - Feature - CheckIn/CheckOut Semaphores, file locking - deprecated by draft management - Define - High
automatic (5 minute) exclusive access - this time is a pages module-wide setting, overridable by a setting at the page series level
Reservation of pages - in order to reserve a page, an author sets a longer duration of exclusive access from the skyWriter. The start and end are stored in the reservations table
Who has the page and for how long would be shown on the Master Archive.
- COMPLETE - Feature - A new link on the File Archive (or in TOC) to open a new window to the same location (for comparison of file structures and skywriting, etc.) - Deploy - Med
- COMPLETE - Feature - Certain options, such as the skyWrite or commentary links, could hide themselves unless they see a persistent/expiring cookie value, that is, unless someone has logged in through this particular browser before. This could be a flag set at the page series level - Deploy - Med
