Hi, This is just kind of a next semester project, but I would like to start exploring the options.
I'm using Fossil mainly to store documentation (using the superb embedded documentation feature) for my Grafoscopio[1] project. I think that SQLite and Fossil are good examples of what I call pocket infrastructures (simple, self-contained and working well on-line and off-line) that can help to democratize fields like data visualization and storytelling[2]. But, despite its advantages, Fossil is starting to feel limited, particularly with the Yaml metadata blocks that the Pandoc Markdown variant uses[3]. So I would like to explore the possibility to use Lua (which is already integrated in Pandoc and easily integrable in other programs) to read such metadata y show it in a proper way. I also think that the support for Lua should open a lot of scriptability options and ecosystem, far beyond TH1 and Tcl, by using a more wide spread scripting language with a bigger ecosystem.

Where can I start? Thanks, Offray _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
