Wiki Migration Notes - Site Features

These notes are obsolete. Most of the relevant ones were incorporated elsewhere.

This sketches site feature requirements: sections, functionality, and how they should evolve.

No pressing need for external changes. Maybe Trackback support—but both comments and trackbacks are spam-prone, and filtering referrers is already a (minor) chore. URIs should be simple to preserve.

Markup is the real issue. Textile looks promising if extended for code syntax highlighting, image resizing, and assorted conveniences added over time.

Needs a calendar view (today I just click around the random column and edit the URL directly). Albums might be interesting, but they should rely solely on embedded EXIF metadata (no external DB). Lack of a good EXIF tag editor is a blocker (need to survey PHP and Python tooling).

Switching from CVS to Subversion does not yet justify the effort (even though Trac looks great). cvstrac mainly needs improved CSS support—something I should have contributed long ago.
