* I wnated to get it fixed up last week, but I had an
important talk to give, and my harddrive crashed, and I got a PowerBook, which together
turned out to be rather distracting ;-)
Problems include, but are not limited to:
* In various places it tries to load metadata for *every* revision of
the page. This would be fatal on the actual Wikipedia, where there are
pages with tens of thousands of revisions. There are likely other
severe performance and scalability issues with it.
Yup. It's still in my famous "OK-it-kinda-works-now-we-wait" stage.
* The 'management' interface for defining
survey options is not locked
off properly, and is very hard to use if you do get to it.
I wan't sure who should get access to it. It is a single line in the code where to
limit access. For it being "hard to use", it basically is used *once* to set up
topics, and then not at all (ideally) or very sparsly (to add/delete topics). I don't
see that as a reason to keep it "in limbo".
* Lack of HTML-safety on the UI interface: as a quick
hack I added
htmlspecialchars() guards, but things really should be changed to use
wikitext where appropriate; several of the UI messages are currently
displaying raw HTML tags.
Well, they didn't show that raw HTML when I checked 'em in. I'm pretty sure of
that one. I'll see if I can fix that.
If anybody would like to work on it further that would
be spiffy;
otherwise it will remain in limbo indefinitely.
I should have some time during this week, although I'll have to setup
mysql/apache/yadayada on my new HDD.
Anyway, we can turn this on with a few days (weeks?) delay, just in case. No need to rush,
at least not a technical one ;-)
