News & Chronology
2004-10-31 phm simplifies changes the display and KwikiLocalTemplateEditEn templates to make sure people can easily log in and find info on acquiring an editor status
Purpose of phm's changes of 2004-10-31
- take account of the fact that most kwiki pages are now write-protected
- take account of the fact that kwiki is no longer mainly and addenda system
- let new users immediately find out how they can get write access
- let editors switch to editing mode by 2 or less clicks in the upper left corner
- remove addenda-related explanation text: this is still found at the bottom and it the it is now implicit in the title of the addenda pages, which links back to the associated static page.
- phm previously already shortened this text
- our system should be minimalistic, as little repetitive text and as large an editing space on the screen as possible
remove possibility of deleting an entire page in the edit template: this is too easy to do by accident and too easy to abuse. We normally need to maintain a record of changes of a kwiki file.
