moin 1.9.x
-
moin 1.9.10 released with:
- bug and security fixes
- updated bundled dependencies
- minor new functions
- anti-spam / changed default permissions
- moin 1.9 development:
- moved development to git / github
- issue tracking on github
- using travis-ci now
- old codebase, python 2.7 only, no port to py3.
- needs: maintenance, no big changes.
moin 2: developers wanted!
- moin2 is still in development
- some stuff works, but not recommended for prod
- new and better codebase than moin 1.x
- currently only ~2 active spare-time devs
-
needs more developers / architects / designers:
- python (flask, whoosh)
- xml / xpath (lxml, emeraldtree)
- UI / UX (html, css, js, jinja2, ...?)
- if you want a moin wiki with a future,
get involved now and help getting it released!
done: dev modernized
- moved development to git / github
- issue tracking now on github
- using travis-ci, tox, pytest 3, flake8
- py27 and pypy27
- some code cleanups done
- moved to src/ layout
todo: converters
- emeraldtree (elementtree fork) is unmainted
- we use it for:
- conversion doc format -> dom tree -> doc format
- supporting misc. popular markups,
moinwiki, creole, mediawiki, ReST, markdown, docbook, csv, html, ...
- TODO:
- use lxml for converters? (tests already use lxml)
- create a converter lib so other projects can use it?
- more xpath-based / less string-based testing
todo: validation / forms
- flatland library is unmaintained
-
we use it for:
- user input validation
- html form generation w/ feedback
- storage level input validation
-
TODO:
- use marshmallow library?
- does not have html form generation
- feedback to user / into html forms?
todo: storage / indexing
- we have some self-made layers to:
- index / search / lookup (whoosh)
- permission check (ACLs)
- namespaces / "mounting"
- store metadata and data
- misc. backends
- TODO:
- fix / maintain own code?
- just rewrite using postgresql only?
todo: UI / UX
- currently: jinja2 html templates + a bit of js / css
- TODO:
- improve usability / consistency / prettiness
- item editor:
- better UI
- collab editor (also avoids conflicts)?
- separate moin backend and frontend?
- needs UI / UX developers who know their stuff
todo: python 3
- considering the other TODOs first:
- some are essential to do ASAP
- some before first release
- some required for python 3
- python 3:
-
can still wait some time:
- py27 is there at least until 2020
- pypy27 maybe even much longer?
- the user doesn't care whether it runs on 2 or 3
- migrating now would further delay 1st release
- if we migrate for 2nd release, we can:
- drop py2 completely
- use latest py3
-
can still wait some time:
