This page details a list of _features_ that the web development team
is working on, aside from fixing bugs [1]
1 Major 2 Minor 3 Trivial
SERVER
2 Make https mirror http
* require_https() function
LOCFINDER/ROUTING
1 LocFinderCrossSections [2] 1 Intergrate IP addressing with
interfaces
* Grab interface class and prompt with IP from appropriate block
* We're currently filling the interface_id in the nodes_ips table
with a node ID. This needs to be fixed and tied to an actual interface
for this to work nicely.
* This is going to be *nasty*! References need to be fixed in
mw_iprouting(600+loc), and every file that calls any of its functions.
There are instances whete interface_id is used as it is supposed to
be(i.e. the node_id is found using the interface_id, not assuming
int_id==node_id), and some cases where it is not. All functions need
to be updated to the former, and all files to reflect this! erk.
* This "FeatureBug" blocks:
* IP Statistics
2 Preset \'profiles\' for card specs in interfaces [3] 2 Melways map
lookups 2 Link Line between nodes on comparison page
SITE/USER
2 HardwareDatabase [4] 2 Automated meeting reminders

WIKI
1 Wiki page edit locking 2 Make (or add the option to make) the Wiki
Recent Changes page show ALL edits to a page made on a given day. I
like to check the diff for recent changes, but if the page is edited
multiple times in one day only the most recent diff is easily
accessable - so I miss other things that were added. 3 Wiki page
Sections (easier to edit without scrolling through the whole thing.
ADMIN
1 I want to use the Include feature to include the Meeting20060210
[5] page in the EventsMonthly [6] page - I want to go back to a new
wiki page for the agenda of each General Meeting so we keep an
archive. We should then edit the EventsMonthly [7] page in the admin
wiki each month to point at the new Meeting agenda page in the public
wiki. At the moment, the Include function seems to only be capable of
including pages from the Wiki it was called from - i.e. using Include
in an admin wiki page can't call a page from the public wiki.

SUGGESTIONS
DANFLETT\'S SUGGESTIONS
LOCFINDER/ROUTING
* suggestion: make /maps/list?order=age the default sort order for
the node list page - putting the most recently edited/created nodes at
the top of the list
* Include "IP Address" field as part of a node Interface record. If
the interface is an AP then automatically prompt with addresses from
the node's allocated address block. If the interface is a client link
to another AP - prompt with the IP address range of the AP being
linked to (minus any already used addresses).
* Blocked by LocFinder [8]/Routing ToDo [9] "2 Intergrate IP
addressing with interfaces"
* Somehow include info in the Interface record about the IP
addresses of external AP's connected to a wired interface. (Locally
Connected Devices subcategory of the Interface?) When a node is a
Linux box acting as a router, an external AP isn't really an Interface
unto itself and shouldn't be listed as such in LocFinder [10]. The
wired interface should be the one listed as the actual Interface. Or
is this too complicated?
* Sometimes a device like a WRT54G might be the node itself, other
times a WRT54G might be an External AP to a Linux Router PC.
* Preset "Interface profiles" might make listing an interface with
it's wireless mode and Locally Connected devices easier - profiles
such as "Client Card", "Adhoc point-to-point Card", "External AP",
"External Client device", "Card in HostAP [11] mode", etc. When
selecting a profile such as "Client Card" the user could specify a
link to another node, and then select an IP Address from that node's
Address Block. The "other" node could revise or delete this IP Address
if it is invalid.
* Preset "Node Profiles" could even make setting up multiple
interfaces easer: such as "Linux router PC", "Single Client device"
(such as a Minitar in client mode), "Embedded Router" (Such as a
WRT54G by itself), "Standalone AP", "Embedded Router with connected
AP".
* generally reform IP address allocation.
* Allow /28 /29 /30 allocations.
* Create address space for Area 0 (discuss first?)
* blocked by "2 Intergrate IP addressing with interfaces"
* suggestion: clicking on non-node space on the map in a node's
LocFinder [12] entry takes you to the clickmap browse page - centred
on the point that was clicked on. The default clickmap should probably
be smaller than 800 x 600 though - maybe 300 x 300 like the normal
LocFinder [13] node maps to facilitate faster browsing.
* Likewise, when on the clickmap browse page - clicking on a node
icon takes you to that node's LocFinder [14] entry.
GUMMAY THINKS ALOUD
For My.MelbWireless:
* Subscription Manager
* For managing subscription for local area and general mailing lists
* Potentially combat the dreaded
multiple-email-address-to-post-to-list problem
* Recent Site Activity
* Wiki edits
* Mailing List posts?
