Uh, don't you find it interesting that you didn't feel like there was any need to discuss about this in public?On Tue, 26 Nov 2002 22:33, Nicola Ken Barozzi wrote:Anakia does it's job fine, is easier to use and much more lightweight. No need to ditch a tool that works.Then I'm confused. Why did you consent for the change in Phoenix docs?
Because I want to move to more advanced documentation generation features that cocoon provides. In particular generating single pdfs for guides but multiple html pages and being able to "suck" docs from other codebases into the phoenix docs (ie suck loader docs in as loader is used by phoenix etc). Integrate with javadocs and generate specific documentation from java/config source files. Also have a single "uber" pdf guide that encompases all phoenix docs. I also eventually want to move to "database" generated website.
By "database" I mean sucking in data from multiple sources such as /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, /home/cvs etc and then processing it with something like http://xineo.sourceforge.net/xil/I'm glad to hear that but here you are showing your 'one-man show'ness evidently and even more you expressed so with a simple '-1' and people had to ask you 'explicitly' to share your thoughts with us in order to be able to plans things together.
Essentially I wanted to be able to do multi-format/channel publishing. While possible with anakia is no where as easy as it is in cocoon.
Do you start seeing why this community perceives you as working alone on "your" stuff and 'tollerate' the presence of others?
I'll tell you: this is *very* annoying and frustrating, no matter how impressive your end results are. And you know why? because this model of yours is against the notion of software darwinism. Your mutations in the code are huge steps and the community feedback is received only after big steps are taken. This 'reduces' the ability of the environment (the community and the users) to influence the evolution of the project in an incremental way.
Do you realize that by making such big plans and actually implementing them without early feedback you are actually 'hurting' the long term technical evolution of this project?
Why did you create a framework Forrest branch?
Because I was sick of hearing users complain. I get on average 6-7 complaints a month about the size of our CVS download or the size of our distributions or whatever. About 90% of that size is due to Cocoon jars and excess unused cruft in documentation tree (like 3 MB of DTDs).
