Extension:Collection/Wishlist/LQT Archive 1

Please add your ideas and feature requests to this page.

collection page

 * add link to "category:collections" (global and user) to this page
 * Implemented in revision 42329 Jbeigel 09:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Features

 * Allow users to keep their collections private (This makes it not show up on the Category:Collections)
 * Create a "My collections" link which shows up when a user is logged in. This shows all the collections created by a single user.
 * Ticket http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/ticket/330 Jbeigel 09:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Include SVGs as vector format in PDF, for better print quality and lower file size.
 * Some Checkboxes that influnce the Output:
 * GFDL: Yes/No
 * Images: Yes/Gray/No
 * external Links: link/In-text/bottom of page/end of chapter/end of book/no (at least yes and no)
 * Directly save resulting pdf at commons/wiki (that you don't have to generate it every time new!)
 * Name the resulting file as the collection was named instead of collection.pdf/odf
 * Translate the standard-texts into local languages (I would o for german):
 * "External links" -> "Externe Links"
 * "Source:" -> "Quelle"
 * "Principal Authors:" -> "Hauptautoren"
 * "PDF generated using the open source mwlib toolkit see http://code.pediapress.com/ for more information" -> "PDF-Export mit Hilfe des Open Source Toolkits mwlib, mehr Informationen unter http://code.pediapress.com/"

Output HTML
I like the UI to add pages then output as a collection! But PDF as an output format is so 1990s. Can it generate a static set of HTML pages with a TOC? That would be more useful, lighter weight, and with latest CSS, equally attractive. -- skierpage 20:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Images should have a white or transparent background. Transparent images' backgrounds appear black. ✅
 * The equations in the math environment are embedded as bitmap. Since the latex source is available they should be embedded as vector graphics using a math font. (wish of b:de:User:Dirk Huenniger)

Semantic Wiki integration
I was thinking about something to generate Collections dynamically with a SMW query. This would be the code in the Collection page: --Tischda 10:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I think first the properties and so on should be displayed correctly in PDF and ODT Output, by know there are this ugly Property::Value things in the PDF or ODT
 * Second the Output of semantic queries should be displayable in PDF or ODT.
 * I think this is more important then generating Collections from Queries. --DaSch 17:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I use a workaround for properties: Create a template with  --Tischda

legal stuff

 * Due to the GFDL there has to be the text of the GFDL in the document. ✅
 * The author(s) of the images should be named as well as the license of the images, at least for CC- and GFDL-licenses.

PDF output
The pdf that is generated looks good and with the usability improvement it makes it even better. Is it possible to take the title of each article, subtitles etc. and generate bookmarks?
