Have an unsolicited feature request? This is the place! Also perhaps a good place to discuss how changes should be implemented and whether they are a good idea.
==Additions==# Google-esque theme changes on holidays?# WSO Hot Or Not? #*Unlikely that we would be allowed to run an objectifying site feature.#change Add a Daily Advisor feed.#*RSS DA/DM?# Create a public archive of all WSO all campus e-mails and all campus-wide e-mails sent by the background administration. Future historians will praise you!# Make the blogs automatically link keywords to pinkwiki entries like some online references.#Add code to the Announcements section that sends an electric shock through the keyboard if a person tries to post an announcement in all caps.#UmGoogle Maps/Photoshare mashup a la [http://gallery.menalto.com/node/32642 Gallery], no[http://maps.pixagogo.com/maps/start.aspx pixagogo], [http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2005/07/how_to_gps_tag.html etc.].# Create a personalized page function like Google News - alumni might want Willipedia on top, students might want announcements.# Announcements/RideFinder mashup? If you're going to Stop & Shop within a few hours and have room in your car (and are feeling charitable), you can make a posting which will disappear when you leave.# Change the page title back to being a random combination of words involving WSO, instead of just saying "Williams Students Online" every time.#Create categories within the Exchange section, like furniture, clothing, rooms, etc==Fixes==#Add the ability to search by male/female to the facebook#but this is actually Fix the Daily Messages feed.# In the wiki login, put the "Log In" button on the same line as the dropdown menu, so that when you tab from one to the next you get to select WSO or Unix before you press the Login button, thereby not getting an easy fixerror message.#Work with alacrity at providing shell accounts for the use of maintaining a student organization's webpage. ==Accomplishments== # In Photoshare, when you're looking at a specific picture, there's no "Next" button. So you have to go back to the thumbnails, just to get to the next photo! That seems silly.#* Good point. There's a "Next" button now.# Restrict RideBoard to one- or two-day listings so semester-long 'offers' don't clog the home page feed.#* Now it just shows the most recent posts.# Add Added new 2005-06 profs to Factrak, asap!.##Done! *Also, if you want to help maintain the factrak databases, (it's really easy I promise, there's a really sweet admin interface) e-mail me at 06cks. E-mail me even if you aren't in WSO, and especially if you are an underclassman, someone has got to look after this once I'm gone. # Enable comments on photos.
# Create or [http://obiblio.sourceforge.net install] a catalog system for books & DVD's that students have (usually lying around in their common rooms) that libraries don't (comic books, course books, etc.) that other people could borrow. Students could lend to each other and track who has what.
# Fix College Council* Done! See [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Books_You%27re_Welcome_to_Borrow books] and [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/DVDs_You%27re_Welcome_to_Borrow DVDs] you's web site. ##The College Council Website was neither created by WSO nor did they agree re welcome to maintain it. And thus it is not their responsibilityborrow. # Require log-ins to use the wiki(to reduce wiki abuse). ##PossiblyMake a preview feature on comment/blog/forum postings, although free access is half to avoid the point of weird characters people get for cutting and pasting from Word.#* Done for most everything.# Add a Wiki, and there hasn"most recently added comments" function to Factrak. It is impossible to figure out whether Factrak't s even been much abuse of it so farupdated at all this semester since you have to manually search by prof.#* Done! Check out http://wso.williams.edu/Factrak/home#Add a link to Peoplesoft on the WSO homepage (should be easy enough, yes?)#My stomach hurts* Been around all along. Check under "williams.edu" on the left.
# Get the menu and weather scripts working again.
##*Definitely should be done, but it is not as easy as one may think. # Restrict RideBoard to one- or two-day listings so semester-long *There'offers' don't clog s no hope for the menu, but the home page feedweather is fixed.## You mean you don't want a ride to the kingdom of Zamunda?The WSO Student Homepages link is buggy on both IE and Mozilla Firefox. It repeats people several hundred times.#Fix * Not only that, the ACE website##Againdata is terrible. People were entering in their favorite web sites, not a WSO project, I believeinstead of their personal web sites. The replacement is [[Students with web presences]].# Fix the facebook so it'll search by parts of names rather than whole/beginning of names##Search by male/female# Fix the * WSO rolled out a beta version of a new AJAX based facebook so we can search by class (first-year, sophomore, etc.), like we used to be able to. Please?# Pimp my computer.# Fix at the Facebook so we can search by Hot dudes or Hot babes (self nomination end of course)Winter Study 2007. Also hair colorNew features will be added throughout the term.## You might as well make a WSO Hot Or Not. # Make a place called Evan´s War Chest==Refusals==#In my experience, WSO Reminders has been more unreliable than iCal.# Make a preview feature on comment/blog/forum postings, change the background to avoid the weird characters people get for cutting and pasting from Word.pink## But only if it works better than the one on Blackboard*Um, which doesn't show weird characters in the preview paneno.# Please, please, please bring back keeping the most recently commented blogs on top*but this is actually an easy fix. This will filter out the "COME GET DRUNK TONIGHT AT MEZZE!!!11!1!" posts and keep the real bitchfests alive longer.## I take it back. Let the bitchfests die a quick and merciful death. I'll even post more inane "WHERE'S MY IPOD?!?!?!" blogs just to kick them off the frontpage.# Fix the Daily Messages feed.# Add a Daily Advisor feed*Not gonna happen.
