!!Regressions
--$profilerequest: was working in blog but no longer-- Blog uses that and it works in trunk 2009-02-04  It was probably a problem caused by the plugin editor

!!Fun stuff
--[tiki-admin.php?page=plugins&plugin=profile|configure profile plugin alias] with no plugin edit UI--  [http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki?view=rev&revision=17702|done?]

!!Bugs
The plugin editor, when used on YAML, [tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Small_Business_Web_Presence&diff_style=sidediff&compare=Compare&newver=0&oldver=10|messes up the YAML formatting by deleting some line breaks]  __I turned off the plugin editor on this site__

!!Todo

!!!Technical
*--When installing a profile, there is a huge list. There is a text box to filter by category, but it would be a lot easier if it was a drop-down menu.--
*Part of the profile should be a post-installation message, which could be in some cases a link.
**For example, a wiki page (which I presumably just created), with the next steps to follow. This will help when ((handlers))  are not yet created.
*Add missing handlers as we need them in an attempt to support all of TikiWiki's data types.
** --Add Blog handler--
** RSS handler so we can pre-package TikiWikis with RSS feeds to various sites
* --Profile list has no pagination so it only shows first 25 results--
*--If a wiki page exists, profile should provide a meaningful error message (instead of __Handler failure: Tiki_Profile_InstallHandler_WikiPage__) or just replace it (keeping version history of course)--  Now possible to replace or append to wiki pages
*perhaps this is the same thing as above, but when loading a profile on their site the user just clicks on a broken profile and won't get any clues about what is or isn't happening (being nothing) and why.
*After a "forget past installation" or "An error occured during the profile validation. This profile cannot be installed.", there should be a button right there to attempt an installation
*--Set up ((doc:InterTiki)) on this site--
 
!!!Non technical
*Migrate / update all relevant profile related content on doc:((doc:profiles)) dev:((dev:profile manager)) tw:((tw:TikiProfilesDev))
*Work on ((Profile_Ideas))

!!Nice to have
*Use ((dev:TRIM)) to deploy profile demo sites
*"((Save current configuration as a profile))" (not sure if cost/benefit is there)
*--The possibility to ask for data which is to be used as variables in the profile (Something interactive)--
**Ex.: ask the person for a username and the ''wizard-like thingy'' uses this information to put them in the Admins group.
**--The Wizard asks the name of the blog-- This was done, worked and is now broken, so now in bugs instead of wishlist
**The Wizard asks if you want A or B. This would permit simple variants to a profile without forking it.
*A list/log of loaded profiles locally in the Profiles Admin page, so we already know what has been loaded.
*Report/diff on my configuration vs a certain profile (only for preferences)
**This could help with ((Troubleshooting)) because people could report what they have changed compared to the standard bare-bones install. 
*something on this site that verifies whether a profile works or not?
**Like a batch test all profiles?
*--Once you have installed a profile you can't install again (even if profile has improved and you may have deleted the stuff created by the profile). Maybe an override option would be good.-- __Done__
*--Multiple YAML sections per page, to facilitate readability-- __Done__
*To be able to remove modules (ex.: remove login)
**Otherwise, login module should be removed from bare-bones install, in favor of site header login box
*{TAG(tag=>strike)}Additional settings for groups, like
**Group Homepage
**Users Information Tracker (should be variables of newly created groups, needed for ((User_Trackers)))
**Users Information Tracker Fields (should be variables of newly created groups)
**User can assign to the group himself{TAG}
*Something to help editors detect if there is a problem with the current YAML syntax, ex.: syntax highlighter. Do browser-based YAML editors exist?
*Maybe a profile creator with a bunch of little predefined actions. Like Automator do in Mac OS X. All done without the knowledge of the YAML syntax or even PHP.
*Submit button to send new profiles to the community.
!!Questions
*In tiki-admin.php?page=profiles, should the profile field be a drop-down?
** I don't think so. It's a search field for filter the list. The drop down would contain too many items to be usable after a short period of time.
*Should the plugins support line breaks to increase readability? ([http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Contact_us&compare=1&oldver=5&newver=8&diff_style=sidediff|example])
**Looks like line breaks are back in branches/3.0
*Is there way to "uninstall profile"? I only see "Forget Past Installation" but this doesn't uninstall (for me anyway -- Gary).
**No there is not, but you could create a profile which turns off all the features :-) (ML)
