Prioritization

This documentation is vastly incomplete, but we hope for it to become less and less so as time goes by. Leave notes below for what you'd like to see in the documentation. We'll try to prioritize what people want before anything else. (In keeping with the spirit of wiki, if you feel knowledgeable in any part of 'Tavi, especially anything listed above, you're invited to write it up yourself and add it to the documentation!)

Maybe it's useful to split the TaviFAQ in a FAQ for Wiki admins and for users, because almost all answers there are for admins at the moment. For example I had a hard time to find something about the Anchor feature (on the TaviFeatures page) here... before I edited this page, that is... ;-)

I also wonder if InterWiki should be renamed perhaps, because it can be used for much more than creating shortcuts to other Wikis, e.g. enabling quick Google (or other search engines) searches combined with specific parameters like the "site:" operator. You can find a few examples on http://www.audiocoding.com/wiki/index.php?page=InterWiki and http://www.audiocoding.com/wiki/index.php?page=Google for this.
