Usability ....
Hi,
is there any Chance to get modern Usability at MediaWiki 2.0 in the Future ?
It has to be a joke that there are allready Corefunctions at MediaWiki are missing :
- ACL - a professional one with own Group adding/editing and overview like a modern CMS
or Forum has.
- A PlugIn System like DokuWiki and the most CMS and Forums have.
- A Updateskript like the Installskript that MediaWiki has.
- A modern Discussionfunction like a Forum and not these fu* Articlediscussion that
are allready there and that nobody really likes.
- Modern Userprofiles and Options.
- Ajax Support
- Socialbookmarking
- Out-of-the-Box SEO Features
- BB-Code Support and a modern Editor for all Users needs.
- Buttons at Editor so that User can get involved without getting nerved by this fu*
Wikisyntax learning for Corefunctions (Redirect, Tables etc.)
- Real Privatemessagingsupport
It seems like MediaWiki Developers never used any other Webbased Software since Years.
MediaWiki is not 2007 - it is still 1997.
Remember - the best Authors of Non-Computergenres are not Computergeeks.
Just take a look at DokuWiki - this is still not perfect - but some of the Features
hardly missed at MediaWiki are allready there or usable by PlugIns. Move forward
MediaWiki Team - you are still backwards.
At last - if you think some of these Features are useless - ok - let every Admin decide
by him self if he wants to activate it at the Adminpanel or not.
