Response
I’ve received much response to v0.5.
You’ve all sent in wonderful ideas and I’ll work on all of them. There are also some obvious bugs and misbehaviours that will be fixed.
Some of the most popular requests:
- Other Wikipedia languages, and other wikis support
- Localization in different languages
Please note: I’ll try to spend as much time as possible working on it, but that’ll have to be spare time as I have to combine it with college. I hope you’ll understand that I have to make priorities. There’s just no time to do it all. But I’ve put all suggestions on a list.
I’ll probably make a RSS feed out of this page, too

I love Pathway. I was having the same problems with Wikipedia and my frustrations led me away from it for a while. Pathway brought me back to wiki and I don’t even open a browser to explore wiki, I go right to Pathway.I have two requests one simple, please put a link to your website in the program. This is something many developers miss but it makes our lives as end users extremely simpler. The second is to make Pathway a more versatile wiki browser so that I can use other sites with the wiki engine.

I love this program, but I have one major request – if there are links in common between nodes, have the lines drawn automatically (perhaps faded out to allow for irrelevant links). That would help the visualisation greatly.

Sorry for my late reaction here, your comments got past my attention.
Richard & Maxwell: your requests have been implemented now.
Nicolas, I have no experience developing for the Windows platform, but if someone is interested to work on that, I’ll be happy to share code/ideas

Just a quick question which above all else may be an indication as to how daft I may be but….
Why is it, that when I do an initial search I have subtopics radiate out from the main topic, but in subsequent searches I don’t?
I can’t wait to use this application with my students – very powerful and very elegant. Thank you! Cheers!

Wonderful program!
Some suggestions:
- there is a bug in the reload functionality for a page (doesn’t work…)
- you should prevent users to add non-existent pages
- maybe add export functionality for the graph (e.g. to omnigraffle or as a dot file ( http://www.graphviz.org/ ))
- maybe add support for linkback ( http://www.linkbackproject.org/ ) for the graphs
Nice work!
