Easy way to add comments in wiki
Gurus,

I use wiki a lot, and in my experience it's not easy
to get buy-in from users to go into edit box and edit
page text.

As a solution some wikis have COMMENT "tag", which
adds input form to the page, linked to the script
which appends submitted text with simple format and
maybe signature.

You can see basic functioning here (in twiki):
http://twiki.med.yale.edu/twiki2/bin/view/Sandbox/TestAfter

More advanced features are possible, see:
http://twiki.med.yale.edu/twiki2/bin/view/Sandbox/TestComments

We already use a wiki (twiki) for documentation, so my
users expect some "creature comfort". COMMENT is one
of them.

(1) How hard would be to add feature like it to trac
wiki?

(2) If I want to look into the code to add it myself,
where to start?

TIA

Peter

I dont think it should be to hard.

I think you should start to take a look into template/wiki.cs
too see how to add the buttons on the page. Check how the edit button is added.

Then take a look into Wiki.py. How the edit button is handled.


I have som enhancement wishes. If you implemente it please add
pathc to list.

Add edit buttons to the top of the page.

When you preview add preview/save/cancel buttons at the bottom.

I would also really like to have the edit window to be
the size of the text. When I have a big page i edit
and do preview I have to scroll a lot in the small
window.

Good luck,

Toni
