[dokuwiki] Re: [PATCH] media file reference checker complete

A comment about combining options in the config file.  I assume (as
I'm new to the discussion board) that there is an overall concern
about too many options in the config file and confusion it might
bring.  With that understood I have a thought about having a front end
to the configuration file itself.  This would be something like the
acl admin page.  This way you could give a GUIfied front end to the
conf that should help with the confusion as the config file grows over
time.  It could have wiki references back to your wiki:config page
(that you could include like wiki:syntax in the distro) so that people
can have self help while checking check boxes and selecting dropdowns
etc.

Probably not a new idea but I would think it could help in the
usability over all and hopefully help with an ever growing config file
option list.  I believe that having a very flexible config file with
lots of options is a good thing (within reason).

Anyway, just something I was thinking of while reading what you two
were talking about.  Wish I had more time and skill to help with
patches for that. :)
