I added cache/ above. I don't think it has to have a reasonable URI.
I think pub/cache/ is reasonable. Most publicly cached information
tends to be images or css files where the url isn't commonly seen
anyway.
Something you wrote a bit further down about how modifed CSS files could
be placed in cache made think: Why not call pub/cache/
pub/writeable/
Recipes that wish to create public files can then place them in that
directory, or preferably in sub-directories. I still wouldn't mind a
better/shorter word for writeable, but it is very clear to me at least.
Here's a thought. Would it help if we said that generally speaking
everything not in pub/ is private? The execptions that are also public
would be pmwiki.php and uploads/.
Then we say that only pub/writeable/ and down is public and writeable, and
we could have writeable/ for something that is private and writeable.
It's late, so this might all be mumbo jumbo.
I also added files/ which is used by a 'notify' script I've written for
monitoring changes to uploaded files. I don't know if there should be a
separate area where recipes can store persistent data.
I think that files/ is essentially the same as temp.d/
Not really. It's contents shouldn't be deleted - you'd lose history
information. Anyway, I do agree with you about where to place it. The
directory should definetly go into something like
private-writeable/files/
or perhaps
private-writeable/recipes/files/
I missed writing that above. In reality, I've currently placed files/ in
wiki.d/files/
I would think that skin-generated/modified CSS files should go into
pub/cache/ . For example, this is exactly what the CSSInWikiPages
recipe does.
This what made me think pub/cache/ should be called pub/writeable/...
instead.
