(rsc removed the # links, so not needed anymore) # * Better display of html diffs, show deleted and changed text. # #Acme's Wiki features and bugs # * Better conflicting commit error reporting # * Make Zerox work properly, in particular edits in Zeroxed # window(Maybe fixed by AxelB's fixes?) # #------------------------------------------------------ #TO MOVE TO SOURCES # # * f2f's stuff (ffmpeg and xaos still missing?) # * pegasus, rit and latest python # #------------------------------------------------------ #MISC TODO # # * New wiki/HIT # * Wikipedia Plan 9/Inferno related pages work, see # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lost.goblin] # * TPOP links broken. # #------------------------------------------------------ #RANDOM # # * Boydo hacking prize # * "The elements of Kernel hacking style" -> nemo, bruce perens # series # * Talk at mozdev meeting # #------------------------------------------------------ #TINY TASKS # # * Document pci ID card identification in vgadb(6) and remove BUGS # section # #SMALL TASKS # # * Make page(1) render next page in advance # * Add gregsub to regexp(2) for global subs # #ACME TASKS # # * Make 'grow' operation show as much of the file as possible # * A way for apps to enable the 'scratch' bit on windows # * Make acme/Mail use the built-in Undo/Redo mechanisms # * In acme/Mail 'save' should give some feedback to the current # email page(maybe just make 'save' go away from tag bar?) #
