Talk:SVG whiteboard

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

I would like to see an implementation of a whiteboard on Wikipedia. A current running model here which I found via here Wikipedia has yet to implement basic viewing capability of SVG files within Wikipages, and this is the prime priority--Im still having trouble viewing SVG with Mozilla, myself.

-- re. Viewing with Mozilla - there's a known incompatibility between ASV3 (the current release Adobe plugin) and Mozilla, which sounds like it has now been fixed in ASV6 beta, some notes here: Adobe SVG Viewer and Mozilla http://gemal.dk/archives/000272.html --Danny

Hi, I just got your comment on my blog re. SVG Whiteboard. I'll be happy to help if I can.

RSS Related You might also be interested in is what I've got in mind for the Wiki code I'm working on. I plan to generate RDF metadata from all pages - most of this will be from the RSS 1.0 vocabulary, but I'll also have to create some custom terms (like "WikiWord"). Basically provide machine-readable data about the knowledge contained in the Wiki. This would (IMHO) be a wonderful extension for the Wikipedia, for example, where appropriate entries in the Wikipedia could be automatically cross-referenced with WordNet and dmoz entries. Putting it on the Semantic Web is a nice visionary thing too.

As with the WikiWhiteboard, the implementation would be different (I'm primarily using Java, though I think Eugene's version is in Perl), but the RDF-specific parts would be the same in the same way that the SVG parts can stay the same across Wikis. --Cheers, Danny.danny666@virgilio.it

Things that I suggest for an SVG whiteboard[edit]

  • Two history lists on the same SVG page: one for the page and one for the image.
  • Automatic way to both hyperlink and wikilink an image map to another article or image.
  • Way to embed a navigational template into an image.
  • In the image edit page, there should be a text mode where one can copy or cut a portion of the SVG syntax and paste it into another text mode of another new image page.
  • More to come... --70.185.189.3 22:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
