Thanks mike! I should have opened tickets myself, but I really wanted
to post the feedback to the list first so I could get some feedback on
my feedback, and maybe some suggestions.
6) Math
formulas are generally very well rendered and handled,
although integrals, limits and summations seem to be a bit cramped.
This should
probably use the same renderer as we use for math images.
Not sure why it wouldn't do so. Haven't added a bug for this as it's not
clear to me what's going on or what needs to change.
It looks to me (and I could definitely be wrong) like it's using the
"HTML if possible" rendering option, probably to save bandwidth on the
conversion server.
9) I would
love it if authors could specify some kind of "print name",
such as in their preferences. That way people could be recognized by
their real names if they choose, instead of by their on-wiki
screennames.
We could request $wgAllowRealName to be enabled - then Collections
could
access that for attribution where provided. Probably that's a good idea
- users don't have to provide a real name, and we should allow everyone
who wishes to do so to provide a name for attribution.
This sounds like a great solution, and I didn't even realize it was an
option. There are a lot of editors, myself included, who would like to
use real names more often. I like having the pseudonym as well for a
variety of reasons, but being able to post my real name for things
like published books would be a great thing. It beats having to
explain to people I show the books off to that "Yeah, in this book I'm
listed at Whiteknight instead of by my real name", and trying to
explain why that is. Maybe we should ask the higher-ups whether this
is even an option (privacy concerns might scuttle this ship before we
even leave port).
