Nats Wiki Wish List

A Bibliographic Web, implementing a BibPlugin (done)

• A collection of papers.
• create forms for every type of publication. see ArticleBibForm, MichasTests

Alias WikiWords, implementing an AliasPugin (done)

A plugin allowing to link one WikiWord to another automatically.

Related/Similar Topics

A plugin using IR techniques to index all wiki topics and get related topics given the one currently rendered. (topics = documents)

• compute a set of relevant terms of one or more webs automatically. maybe use a configurable list of stop-words.
• generate an index for all documents
• incrementally add one (new) document to the indexed set of documents.
• or generate the document index by a cronjob every night
• retriev the n most similar/relevant documents given a certain document
• see Modern Information Retrieval (also at http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/~hearst/irbook/)

Google-like Content Ranking

• compute a google-like topic ranking by counting the referrer to every topic
• order search hits by topic ranking

NatsWiki Registration notifications

• send user registrations to the maintainer of the primary group the user has chosen

Better SSL handling in TWiki (done)

• only use an ssl encrypted http connections if we are logged in
• WikiGuests don't need to encrypt. Maybe that's more google-friendly too.

Separation of Main and User Webs

TWiki assumes that all of your users are located in the %<nopMAINWEB%. But we'd like to have them put into a User Web. Normaly it is enuf to rename %MAINWEB% to User (which is Main) by default. Also, we'd like to still have a Main Web for the Nats web presentation. Ergo: confusion. The TWikiVariable %MAINWEB% has a bad name in a way. Changing this would entail to go thru the Twiki sources and rename %MAINWEB% to %USERWEB% and mainWeb to userWeb.
