Scheduled/accepted

When you (i.e. anyone) agree to take on a task from the pending queue below, move it to this list and sign your name.

Investigate RubyUnit? -- SunirShah
Investigate Selenium and JSunit -- SunirShah
Code offline ITMarkupEngine, including XHTML structural verification unit test -- ChrisPurcell

Pending

Known, but unscheduled tasks. Useful for meta-tasks (e.g. set up a SVN repository) as well as community requests that have been a) accepted into the design, b) decomposed into tasks.

Refactor the existing project tracker into this framework.
Refactor the goal list on InfiniteTypewriter
Add BrokenLink marking to (online) ITMarkupEngine

Requests

Community requests go here. Please limit descriptions to one or two sentences. If you need to say more, create a Pattern page in the MeatballWiki style. Requests may be deferred if they are too difficult to do in the short term or do not yet mesh with the design, and further deliberation is needed to move them forward.

1.1. To do

1.2. To install Sablotron with Javascript

This is a work-in-progress based on ChrisPurcell's experiences installing PHP with Sablotron + JS extensions, first on his own computer, then on MB.

Download and compile spidermonkey (Mozilla's C-based Javascript interpreter; need to manually copy relevant files from dist to /usr/local)
Download and compile Sablotron 1.0.2, ensuring it uses JS (./configure --enable-javascript)
Optional: Download and compile PHP 4.3, ensuring it uses Sablotron with JS (./configure --enable-mbstring --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot --with-sablot-js)
Download and compile [the experimental Ruby interface to Sablotron] (need to add have_library('js', 'JS_SetPrototype') to extconf.rb)

1.3. Done

Pull the UseMod engine onto MySQL?, the MB/5 project, allowing the entire UseMod script to be gradually deprecated. Move to MySQL? locking. Move to UTF-8.
Sunir buys Programming Ruby, Agile Web Programming with Rails.
Sunir installs Ruby on Rails on usemod.com
Chris installs Sablotron (XSLT) with Javascript extensions
Chris installs the Ruby interface to Sablotron
Create a simple read-only Wiki:SpikeSolution wiki using the existing MeatballWiki database, emitting XHTML with CSS
