Project Goals

The Smallest Federated Wiki project wants to be small in the "easy to learn powerful ideas" version of small. It wants to be a wiki so that strangers can meet and works of value together. And, it wants to be federated so that the burden of maintaining long-lasting content is shared among those who care.

• Implement a server that can render pages as html.
• Implement client code for drag-and-drop refactoring.
• Implement server code to accumulate edits via ajax requests.
• Create sample pages that include images. Render images similar to paragraphs.

Project Roadmap

Federate multiple instances of this wiki.

• Create sample pages that reference federated servers, probably by journaling clone events.
• Render clone events as clickable links, clicking views current state of remote version.
• Cache remote versions locally so that they too can be edited.

Cross-page refactoring.

• Render two pages in two lists that jQuery can sort.
• Handle drag-and-drop between lists.
• Implement server side ajax for updating two pages at once.
• Resolve use of css IDs when viewing multiple identical paragraphs.

Paragraph Editor.

• Tap or hover to bring up edit command
• Edit within pop-up dialog: save or cancel.
• [+] to add new paragraph.

Generalized Editor.

• Similar gestures open plug-in editors.
• Image editor uploads images.
• Data editor adds or removes datapoints.
