Abstract

This proposal has no content. It exists only to provide a document on which testing of and practice using of the TIP editing interfaces can take place.

References

This document serves a purpose similar to the Graffiti page (http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/wiki/34.html) at the Tcl'ers Wiki (http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/wiki/).

It will also be useful for testing the web editing interface proposed in TIP #13.

ActiveState Server Test

Things still working after the move? Looking good.

New Features Test

Gotta try the log message... ...and the cookies... Hmmm... no cookies! Donal says it's better now... ...but I still don't see any fields filled in for me... ...but now I do!

still trying to get the cookies working - DKF

Submission Test

Some browsers are spinning their wheels after submission... Looks like this is fixed now.

Author Add Test

Checking fix for missing Abstract after adding a new Author... Fixed.

Reload/caching Test

See if additional HTTP headers help... Yes.

Test

Attempt to add a new section via the web interface (in a frame).

Are anonymous changes possible?

Check that updates of TIP renderer didn't break editing...

Testing the interface

<Andreas Kupries> Just my first try at the new web editing interface for TIPs.

Hm ... Maybe we could add a direct reference to TIP #3 to the edit page for easy/quick lookup of the formatting (rules|definition). It should open into its own window, immediately, when following the link.

I miss a button or some such which allows me to enter a new TIP. Currently it seems as if I can just edit an existing document.

More: After submitting the changes I had to explicitly reload the TIP frame to see my changes. This is most likely a browser problem, but I think we should add a note to the edit page about this, or people might assume that their changes were lost in some way, and perceive the service as unreliable.

That's it for now. ... I'll add the same comments to TIP #13, they belong there more than here. </Andreas Kupries>

<note by="Richard Suchenwirth" date="2001-01-30">Whitespace in XML element names won't work.. or is "Kupries" an attribute without value?</note>

Dummy <Section> 'To' "Test" XML Generation

Move along now; nothing to see here...
