Re: mod_perl Public Relations
+1 to stand clear of XXXml ;) But RSS is XML. What types of news should be published? - new page 'advocacy', see link ... - new success story, see link ... - new success story, full text Who writes the news? Bye, Uwe PS: Can we use cpan modules (like XML::RSS)? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Keeping the pool of possible authors/reporters as high as possible. +1 to stand clear of XXXml ;) I can't imagine that more people know YAML than basic XML. I know I've avoided YAML so far, since it seems pretty pointless to me. I don't think POD or a wiki would provide enough structure for this use (we need a headline, body, date, poster, etc.), although I suppose we could make POD work by requiring a strict structure for news items. One way to do it would be to simply write into a large RSS file by hand, and let a script grab the last 10 of those for the real RSS feed and for generating the pages. Yuck. The front-end doesn't have to be anything format specific. Just have a simple form for content management. I really liked the Bricolage presentation at OSCon, it's so easy to create and manipulate data. Can you please take a look at how jobs.perl.org works. I'm not sure what they are using behind the scenes, but it seems to work great. -- __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Story: bla bla bla bla
Shouldn't something like this be simple enough for our initial needs ?
Sure, with some small tweaks (add a date, remove separate story, remove
reference, change author icon to story image). See http://php.net/ for
an idea of what I'm going for.
Glancing at the YAML docs, it looks like putting between those
would make them parseable as records, so maybe we'll use that after all.
For instance :
$ cat story.yml
--- #YAML:1.0

We could even use a simplified version of slashdot, so people can submit stories, people can comment on them, making it much more efficient and not creating any bottlenecks. Yes, we could set up a blog for news. It seems a bit redundant to have comments when we already have the mailing list(s), so I would skip that. We also can't put things on the site without an approval process, so it would need users and permissions. If we are able to host web apps on perl.apache.org and someone out there feels like playing with some simple blog software (Blosxom? Bryar?), that would be fine with me. Just throwing ideas, really. If the overhead of managing news is too big, it will be too easy to stop doing that. So I'm just wondering what's the simplest approach for more people being able to contibute w/o as little overhead as possible. -- __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
