Ward's Meta-Wiki
Something like [[TimeStamp]] that would get substituted by 31/01/01 17:05, just one time.
An alternative is some method of indicating that a particular page is of interest to some person or groups of people. The Attention Page macro on MacroMarket is one attempt towards this end. -- RichardJones?
We have a working system for this at Lineo. The python module for this
To subscribe to a page, a user puts the word "Subscribers" as a heading, at
For example, to subscribe to this page, I could just put the following on it:
Either send them directly to me ([email protected]) or to the moin-dev mailing list ([email protected]). Then I'll add them to the default distribution or to a new macro collection.
See the new MacroMarket page. Interestingly enough, creating that page did not require any change to the code, though you can directly rip the macros from the subpages.

--MattWestervelt?
I'm currently trying to figure out whether I can adapt MoinMoin? so that I can produce a consolidated Wiki and blog site so that Wiki pages and blog entries can point to each other really easily. If the potential seems to be there, I'm sure I'll get around to hacking these guys in eventually.
--GarthKidd?
I'll rabbit on more in BlogBlog?. -- gtk
For another example, check how often !MoinMoin? gets repeated in GarthKidd?. In
This is a wishlist from an older version --- some of this stuff has already been done, other stuff is dealt with elsewhere... some of it's novel, hopefully.
Take this with a grain of salt: if you don't even take the time to weed out the done points, why should I care to implement the rest? And there is some pretty heavy stuff in there, even if it might not look like that. A good third is too sketchy to even get what you mean. -- J�rgenHermann
This was more of a braindump than a series of requests, J�rgen. Given cycles, I'll be happy to come back and try to clarify and cleanup; but in the meantime, rather than keeping this locked in our Wiki, I thought I'd dump it up here. That way, if there's anything of value in it, somebody else can benefit. But to your question, you shouldn't care to implement anybody's requests, unless it just tickles your fancy. If any of the above does that, great, otherwise, that's fine too.
Current Discussion
Timestamping
Sometimes I use MoinMoin? for a weblog-type recording of events. It would be great to have maybe a macro that gets substituted by the current date and time when the user saves the page. Use Server Authentication
It would be nice if the wiki would automatically determine if a user has been authenticated through a web server and use that for the User. If I happened to be using IIS, I could set it up to authenticate and then use os.environ'REMOTE_USER'? to find out who they are. If I were using Apache, I could do the same. If I were using Orion, etc, etc. EMail send page
It would be nice if the page, one is currently reading or changing could be sent to an arbitrary email. This could perhaps be a new action and added to a toolbar. -- GM Email notification
Email notification about changed wiki pages? Yes, definitely.
is located at [action/mailchanges.py?]. Our system
works as follows:
any level (preceded and follow it with equals signs) anywhere on the page.
Then a user puts their e-mail address under this heading. Multiple e-mail
addresses are allowed. Due to the nature of wikis, anyone can add or
remove their (or anyone elses) "subscription" at any time. On submission
of the edited page, the page "diff" is mailed to all addresses so registered.

Structured Text Markup
A simple BizarStructuredText? markup has been written and is available on the ParserMarket? page. It is very similar to the StructuredText? that Digital Creations developed for Zope. Its differences are mostly to do with ease of use. I also included the table markup as defined in the standard wiki markup that MoinMoin? ships with. -- RichardJones? Macro Collection
I realize that this wouldn't be part of the MoinMoin? itself, but there should be a repository in the download area for MoinMoin? macros that people have written. As of the latest version, it's so easy to write macros, there should be a place where we can place macros we've written so others can get them (I've written some macros that people have asked for in other areas of this site, Even a macro that will look for all macros available on a MoinMoin? and list them!) -- Christian Bird - [email protected] Category based headers
It would be interesting to throw a custom header (logo graphic, navigational links, css ) based on a tag similar to a ProcessingInstructions? tag. ie: #homepage If no instruction were found, would use site-wide default. This might be non-trivial if header is currently thrown before parsing the page. Garth's Wishlist
I'm sure these should be put elsewhere, sorted, etc. I'm equally sure that if anyone is really bothered by where I've put them they can refactor them. 
The direction MoinMoin? ==> blog is easily handled by the InterWiki mechanism. -- jh
True, but I want to be able to use Wiki style formatting (particularly the references) in the blog entries, too. It could be as simple as: numbered files are blog entries, named files are Wiki pages.
Smart Edit Conflict Detection
One of my hacks to ZWiki was to suppress edit conflict detection if it figured that someone was colliding with themselves. This enabled the familiar edit-back-edit-back action without letting people collide with each other. Suppress Gratuitous WikiNames?
In a page which MoinMoin? mentions another MoinMoin? several times, it's a bit irritating MoinMoin? to have every single MoinMoin? of them highlighted as a MoinMoin? link. I'd like to render only the first in the page or, if there are multiple headings in the document, the first time under a particular heading.
I don't get you here, too much "MoinMoin?"s. Do you mean wiki links? -- jh
Let's just say that it would have been nice to see MoinMoin? underlined and blue only once in that paragraph.
ZWiki, at least users can prepend the WikiName? with a bang 
to suppress the escaping (though things get very messy at the beginning of a line, where ! is overloaded to suppress escaping the whole line), but "banging it out" has to be done manually. I'd prefer something automatic. Hotkeys
Minor format tweak for the user interface: the accesskey attribute on an INPUT is a major timesaver, letting people save changes without having to reach for their mouse. It's only MSIE, but that's a major proportion of the userbase.
Give a concrete HTML code sample (e.g. for the editor page's "Save" button). -- jh
input type="submit" value="save changes" accesskey="s", I think. I'll look it up and get back to you.
