Suggestions of ideas for plugins:

  • list of registered users - tricky because it sorta calls for a way to rebuild the page when a new user is registered. Might be better as a cgi?

  • a [[todo/link_map]]

  • [[todo/sigs]] ?

  • [[pageindexes]]

  • Wiki stats, such as total number of links, most linked to pages

  • Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.)

    Or using an iframe to inline the cgi, although firefox seems to render that nastily with nested scroll bars. :-(

  • For PlaceWiki I want to be able to do some custom plugins, including one that links together subpages about the same place created by different users. This seems to call for a plugin that applies to every page w/o any specific marker being used, and pre-or-post-processes the full page content. It also needs to update pages when related pages are added, so it needs to register dependencies pre-emptively between pages, or something. It's possible that this is a special case of backlinks and is best implemented by making backlinks a plugin somehow. --[[Joey]]

  • interwiki links

All the kinds of plugins that blogging software has is also a possibility:

  • Blog post calendar
  • technocrati pinger
  • Tag stuff?
