  • from name.ext to name_title.ext for non pictures & name_title.sizeindicator.ext for pictures
  • adding media-browsing system

Language indicators for articles & features

• see bugreport about it.
• could make it easier to do multilingual sites (with language-seperated content)
  • se indyhub.org & bulgaria.indymedia.it (it needs nasty hacks to get it working).

Feature-bugs

• File Uploads for calendar
• Html/css cleanup
• more html-filter
• comment_latest.inc
• fine-tuning the admin
• ical support for calendar
• ....

User permissions

• Implement a user_role table to assign permissions ("roles") to users.
• a 2-column table, user_id and role_id
• Each user may be assigned any number of roles.
• a role_id maybe a number, indicating write-access to a particular feature category, or a letter indicating write access to sections of the admin system (articles, all features, file editor, etc.)
• mark would like to implement these new functions into user_class and incorporate the new security into page classes of the admin system.
• Will test fully and check-in all at once in as soon as a month or so.

I18n

Current State

• Fr, It, En & Nl: 99,9% .dict & docu

• Ca: 75% of the .dict
• Bg: 20% ? (not even in cvs)
• Sr & Pt: untouched since 11 months.

Coordination

• Translators
  • use translations.indymedia.org ?
  • someone who keeps track of it ?

• Guidelines for the code ?
  • e.g.: if you add a string in .dict add it to every language ?
