The time has come to take what I have done in Ampelofilosofies a step further, and maybe get the code up to a level where it can be used for the rest of the Braveworld site.
First things, first:
The big news is that braveworld is going to move. If the code is going to be used for more than one blog and if braveworld is going to be edited by more than one person, we need some kind of common development ground. So we're moving to Textdrive.
Textdrive offers a lot more possibilities than our current ISP, mainly Rails, Subversion and Trac
The project is off the ground, fully equiped with wiki, issue tracking (with active tickets :) ), user administration and subversion repository. The possibilities are endless!
I see this as an exercise perfecting the distributed development skills I have been exercising the past two years.
Rails means that we might, just might move away from static pages for some parts of the site. This is especially true since I have seen the CMS that will drive the new ruby-lang site, called Radiant, and I have been more than impressed. More on that and my small contribution to the new ruby-lang site when it finally gets released.
The next change codewise will be to integrate RedCloth in the generator, just to make writing these articles easier. Textile allows for HTML in the content so we keep backwards compatibility with existing content.
It will also give us a way to easily cross-link between articles, without having to hard code the links like it was done until now.
