To Do

Very Soon

1. Set up a backup routine.
2. Remove all the Alexander/Conway nonsense from Computer Talk for links.
3. Remove Vassiliev invariants from Computer Talk for links.
4. Arrange hide/show tags for the dispatch tables.
5. Package and document WikiLink; explain how to deeply edit manual pages and knot pages.
6. Activate the search box.
7. Make sure we're backing up all the right things. In particular, httpd.conf should probably be backed up.
8. Fix/improve the "disappearing transclusion" tag <ifpageexists>.
9. Systematic updates of the executable programs (KnotTheory`, WikiLink.m, splicers). See Category:Software.
10. Further edit How you can contribute.
11. Crop all Morse Link images to the smallest bounding box.
12. Scott: finish, document, upload Media:UploadingInvariants.nb and Media:LivingstonTransfer.nb.
13. On the knot pages:
    1. Add "comment" hooks near each of the sections.
    2. Upload "3D Images" for Rolfsen's table.
    3. Use the InOut etc. templates of the manual pages in the Computer Talk part.

At Leisure

1. can texvc use dvi2bitmap instead of convert? might be much faster? [1]
   1. alternatively see [2]
   2. what about a cron job to randomly delete entries from mw_math, and the corresponding png's?
2. Apply patches to texvc, for making transparent, font-sizes png in math mode. [3]
3. Unite DrawPD and BraidPlot under Draw.
4. Identify torus knots.
5. Clarify orientation issues, especially for links.
6. Add Tristram-Levine signatures.
7. Compute HOMFLYPT for torus knots.
8. Remove Simplify from ColouredJones.

11. Chiral? Invertible?
12. Extend beyond 11 crossings.
13. Indicate which knots are the components of given links.
14. Improve link gifs.
15. Add the Universal Vassiliev Invariant.

18. Add the Kuperberg $G2$ invariant.
19. Add higher RT invariants.
20. Add pages on rational knots and other classes of "special" knots.
21. Add a page for "sporadic" special knots.
22. Add something about hyperbolic invariants.
