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.

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

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.

Domains
A few more domains may be necessary. Right now they are only dreams.

Requested articles
Finish writing all requested articles before the end of summer 2015.

Move Project pages
Finish moving Project pages from old site before July 1:


 * Project Page Migration Status
 * Make sure all the plain text meeting logs are referenced at https://projects.gentoo.org/
 * An archive of the old site can be reached here.

More in-line templates for in-paragraph styles
I believe it would be useful to have in-line templates (like the  template) for describing items of interest within paragraphs without using block-level line-breaks. This should effectively limit HTML tags in the articles to  and   tags.

The following templates would be great:

File
Update the File template to be in-line and include more metadata information:

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.
