Semantic MediaWiki

Trivial Fixes (ie just install something/ fix something that’s already installed)

Aggregate information

{{#ask: [[Category:Deployment]] | ?language | ?keyboard | ?number_of_laptops }}

Edit with form tab

Semantic google maps

Way to embed google maps in wiki with locations of projects/deployments and with links to appropriate wiki pages.

Create a property of Type:Geographic coordinate and you get "service links" to Google maps for free (see e.g. [1], click the (?) symbol). However, displaying several such locations on one Google Map is tricky, you either need the Semantic Google Maps extension with SMW version 1.2 and/or the Google Maps extension (see example) -- Skierpage 10:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Easy Fixes (ie just edit a little bit of code)

Auto generate templates

Make template an activity and edit with form

Move around the <no include> tags

But when empty it should show something

Make a tag that says this is not semantic stuff

Add new types

• It's easy to add a property that has some built-in type (like [[Has type::Text]] and restrict it to certain values and maybe control its format.
• It's possible to add a new "linear" type that converts between different units , e.g. a Type;Area
• it's hard to add other kinds of types, it requires writing PHP code.

Time duration

If you want auto-conversion between e.g. weeks and days and seconds, copy what you want from [2] -- Skierpage 10:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

User

Not sure what this means. If it's links to User:skierpage then maybe just create Property:User of type:page.

Trac

This could be done as Property:Ticket, of Type:URL and you use a template to fabricate the URL, or Property:Ticket of Type:Number and you use Service links and templates to turn the number into a trac URL.

Image

Just some property of Type:Page (the default), in most cases SMW do the right thing and display the image .

Template?

Not sure what you mean.

Make the free text box larger.

When creating a template, you should be able to create properties in that window as well as use already created properties.

Way to 'prettify' links when used in SMW properties with a "Page" type.

Example: Color Change instead of Tests/Sugar_Control_Panel/About_Me/Color_Change.

Maybe have a "Brief name" property and display that while linking to the full page name.

Translating Property names

Nathany on #cc

When making a template add a more organized presentation of properties

Complex fixes (ie require creating a new extension)

Aggregate semantic information using a template

I think you mean by using templates on pages, then aggregate the information from those pages not by copying and pasting or transcluding, but by making inline queries of semantic data.

Something in between a list of specific allowed values and free text

I want to be able to have the equivalent of an other field

One approach: have two properties like Property:Version and Property:Version_more that you always display together, the first has restricted values, the other is text. Another is to use Type:Page and have pages for the allowed values. So not-allowed values "work", but stand out in red.

Way to automatically email users who maintain pages

Automatically populate data

ex page last updated case

SMW 1.1 can't query on or display such metadata. I think other extensions like DPL can.

Way to pull %translated from pootle

Could have a bot that gets this information and populates wiki pages with it.
