== Introduction == Here are some ideas for improving Personal Telco for those who have advanced wiki skills or would like to do some coding. Put items in list format. Tell what type of skill is needed, and what we'd like to have done. |

Personal Telco's wiki software is MoinMoin. MoinMoin is written in Python, as are the macros which we can write to improve its functionality. PTP also has some back-end stuff written in PHP.
Projects
Nodes. April 30th, 2012. Modify existing PHP. Page currently doesn't print - view the page in Firefox and try "Print Preview." Add "alt" text for Google Maps icons. Make map icons link to Google Maps. Add link to node pages for those (such as myself) who find using Google Maps a tedious encumbrance on the computing experience. Add microformats. Add table of contents with links to different parts of town (HTML anchors). And maybe we could split this up into separate pages for different parts of town, so people could easily get a printout of nearby nodes.
On my to-do list, but wouldn't be crushed if somebody beats me to it. -- DanRasmussen
Node Map. April 30th, 2012. PHP? Default to showing only Active Nodes - Potential Nodes clutter the map and confuse newcomers who might confuse them with actual hotspots.

NextMeeting. April 30th, 2012. Advanced wiki skills or maybe Python (i.e. create a macro!). We don't have a great way to show when the next meeting is. Today is April 30th - we've already had the last meeting of the month, but the PTP calendar still shows the month of April and hence any upcoming events (if we'd already created any) would not be listed. CalendarOfEvents shows upcoming events, sorted numerically. If we ever bring our A game and list events weeks or months into the future, CalendarOfEvents makes us scroll down to the bottom (or might not even show the next meeting). Not ideal.
