User:Maffblaster/Propositions

Here I have listed improvement propositions I believe will improve the over all look and feel of the wiki. Some of these ideas may eventually get posted on the Discussions article, but for now these ideas will stay here. If a proposition is accepted and the work required for the change has been done I will cross it off this list.

Finish User template creation form
This will enable community users to create wiki 'profiles' like Gentoo developers can. Form:User.

Add commit history for gentoo.git to developer and user templates
Add a checkbox to developer and user forms that enable the account to link to the below URL. Provides a convenient link to commit history and allows our community to more easily track the involvement and development of ebuilds in Gentoo.

Automagic menuconfig display in KernelBox
Currently our template takes a concerted effort in order to display options nicely. Editors have to manually format the text in the box to match the layout displayed in the kernel's menuconfig interface. It would be nice to have a template, (driven by JavaScript or PHP) that could take a kernel version and configuration options as input, then generate a beautiful configuration based on those inputs.

Copy to clipboard for command/code templates
We need to have a template for quickly and easily copying text to the clipboard. Clipboard.js should provide these kinds of capabilities without the need for Flash, which is excellent... it would be extremely useful for copying Article Blueprints, commands, or scripts directly from the wiki to be pasted into a terminal. I'll need infra's help with this.

Subdomains
A few more subdomains may be necessary. Right now they are only dreams.

Requested articles
Finish writing all requested articles.

Ultrabin host
This is not a wiki suggestion, but it's an idea that's been swimming around in my head.

What if someone created a binary package host capable of building ever binary with every possible combination of USE flags. That'd take a lot of space, but it could immediately serve up any package instantly.

Utilize Tahoe-LAFS for distfiles
Is it possible to utilize Tahoe-LAFS for distfiles? Using this method, distfiles could distributed better and redundant.
