Make discovering WikiMacros easier

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      Apache Bloodhound is a software development collaboration tool, including issue tracking, wiki and repository browsing (see: http://bloodhound.apache.org). Bloodhound extends Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) with multiple product support, advanced search functionality, ticket relations, a simpler installer and sleeker user interface. Apache Bloodhound recently graduated from the Apache Incubator as a stand-alone Apache project.

      Problem:

      Currently users can only discover WikiMacros by browsing to a help page ( https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/wiki/WikiMacros ), and likely have to go back and forth frequently between the place they would like to insert the Macro and the help page.

      Proposed solution:

      Making it easier for users to discover WikiMacros as they edit pages. We're looking for views on how to best do this as well as the implementation. One suggestion would be a visual browser of the Macros with some sample data, another to use a code hinting approach as users edit Wiki pages.

      Skills needed:

      Bloodhound and Trac are written in Python, so a moderate dose of Python programing skills are required.
