= Wiki To-do list = Please describe error and omissions in the BOINC documentation here. {{{ #!comment Add new items at the end of the appropriate section. If you don't know what section is best, just add it at the end of the page. Don't delete existing items unless you're marking them as done! Please keep the bulleted list format. Note that you must have a space before the asterisk. }}} == Missing information (or requests for documentation) == #missing * Where is the format of `global_prefs.xml`? I want to link it from ClientSim#input_sim_prefs. I see many pages with related info, I don't know which one is right or correct: PrefsImpl, GlobalPrefs (doesn't show XML format), PrefsOverride, and bottom of ClientFiles. * It may be useful to have a new page (MigratingServers) explaining how to migrate a BOINC project to a new server. == Out of date information == #out-of-date * PrefsOverride is out of date * This has been "fixed", but per-day time preferences (and maybe others) are still missing. * Implementation notes are most '''very''' outdated. * An updated ClientApp may help create a library to allow [JavaApps Java applications] on BOINC; basically porting the BOINC API to Java. * DebugClientWin is mostly obsoleted by the built-in debug dump. * SecurityIssues should be checked when 6.0 is out and about. Certainly the part on sandboxing. == Minor corrections == #minor * ManagerAdvanced could have some new screenshots. Current ones show glitches on the rendering of menus. Also it's probably better to keep the screenshots as attachments to that page, instead of stored somewhere else on BOINC server, that way contributors can change them. * ~~JobIn needs similar work to BackendState: reformatting using headings instead of that table mess~~. I reformatted JobIn using [WikiFormatting#DefinitionLists definition lists]. I think it looks better than with [WikiFormatting#Headings headings], but we can't link to individual attributes... == Misc == #misc * PythonMysql had been converted from [/install_python_mysqldb.txt the original .txt]. I recently "wikified" the page, since it was just plaintext copied verbatim. It probably needs some cleanup, and checking if the information on it is still correct. * ''Answer: With recent distributions you won't need this page anymore. I always used the stable packages (usually: python-mysqldb) provided by each distro and got no problems. ChristianB'' * Other pages need to be updated to say Python DB can just be installed that way. * Would it make sense to move DevProjects stuff into Trac tickets marked as 'Task'? * Seconded. * Why not use the [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/index.php BOINCDev forums] for that? We're already moving DevProjects stuff into Trac where necessary, but the forums are already there and at times used for such things. It would be great if the developers used them more. == Pages Tagged for Attention == #tags You can tag pages for further action with the following tags: '''wiki_todo''', '''wiki_cleanup''' and '''wiki_delete'''. === Pages needing attention (wiki_todo) === [[ListTagged(wiki_todo, showheadings=false, tagspace=wiki)]] === Pages needing wiki cleanup (wiki_cleanup) === [[ListTagged(wiki_cleanup, showheadings=false, tagspace=wiki)]] === Pages pending deletion (wiki_delete) === [[ListTagged(wiki_delete, showheadings=false, tagspace=wiki)]] == Not the Wiki == #not-wiki * minor correction [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php project list] about date of LHC first turn-up - according to [http://press.web.cern.ch/press/PressReleases/Releases2007/PR06.07E.html this press release] the machine will not "see" first-light until May of next year. * favicon uses an old logo version that lacks transparency. * The "add it to the wiki to-do list" should be an absolute URL. The link is broken on some pages.
