This would mean: + +* a new markup plugin to support a language suitable for TODO lists (OPML, + XOXO are two possible candidates) +* some javascript to provide interactive editing. + +As [[chrysn]] pointed out on the forum page, this has some crossover with +[[structured page data]]. In particular, if the markup language chosen had a +concept of invalid markup (existing plugins just tend to ignore stuff that +isn't explicitly part of their markup) we would need to sensibly handle that. +Perhaps rejecting web edits and providing context help on why the edit was +rejected, although that sounds like a significant headache. + +I have started working on this, albeit slowly. A proof of concept is at +<http://dev.jmtd.net/outliner/>. + +There are two git repositories associated with my WIP: one contains the +javascript, the plugin, the changes made to page templates; the other contains +the contents of that wiki-site (so the test todos and the contents of bugs/ +which forms a sort-of todo list for the todo list :)) I will endeavour to get +mirrors of those repos up on github or similar asap. + +-- [[Jon]] |
