Ticks 'n Patches.
Since the Moin team works with arch, I strugle to also use this system. My public moin-arch repository is here: http://www.tecnocimiento.cl/~mpv/code/mpv@tecnocimiento.cl--moin/

Complete list numbering
Shows Complete numbers for listitem if you add "#pragma list-numbers-complete on" to the top of the page. Usefull for pages with lots of list items. Like so:
1. First item 1.1. First subitem 2. Second item 2.1. first subitem of second item 2.2. second subitiem of second item.
...etc. It works with arabic, letters, and roman numbering
The main patch is in an arch archive taken from moin--main--1.3. You can get at it with tla from moin--mpv--0 . If you just want the patch, it's here: moin--mpv--0--patch-10.diff.txt
Moin Plans
Loose ideas that are food for thought and/or discussion. I am not saying that i feel obliged to implement any of these.
XML
Everybody and their dog agrees that XML, moin and wiki in general makes a whole boat load of sense. So why doesn't moin export XML?
- Export XML.
- Q: What DTD? Does a common wiki DTD exist?
- Q: Would it be worth writing a wiki DTD or is XHTML enough?
- Export XHTML
- Export XML (Acording to wiki DTD)
Something else everybody agrees on is that: moin >> PDF conversion is also a very good idea. Once XML (and it's corresponding DOM) is in place there are many way that you can obtain a PDF version of a page. But my idea is to have a "one-click" solution, intergrated into Moin.
- Export PDF of the current page.
- Support PDF-themes.
- Support Varios PDF-themes at the same time so that a PDF from a page with a regex Quote.* has a different Look then a PDF from Complaint.* .
See PdfReport for more discussion.
MultiPage PDF
Once you can export PDFs, it would be useful to be able to create a page lets say .*Index (as in BookIndex or ThesisIndex) that has a list of wikiPages that are to be included in the PDF generated by Moin.
- Generate one PDF from multiple wikipages.
- Each Page starts on it's own PDF page.
- Support for TOCs
- Support for Apendexis.
Visual Formatter
One of the downsides of Moin is that it doesn't have a visual formater for the noobs. What can be done about this? There is something called "htmlarea" however that only works with HTML, which is very not wiki.
Blogging
Moin being what it is, it has many uses, and one could be to keep track of your diary. But diaries with web interfaces are annoying. There are many apps out there that allow you to write diary entries. These programas use a XMLRPC-backend for publishing. There already exists a python implementation of a backend for varios of these backend protocols. http://spyblog.boinka.com
- Graft XMLRPC backend upon moin so that it becomes possible to publish to a Moin Wiki via a blogging app.
