hi all,
i chatted with bill ricker and someone else on irc and i have an idea
for an ongoing series of meetings. i have an unpublished module that i
want to put on cpan. the code is fairly complete and it works well
enough (it is used to make the perlhunter.com site) but it needs pod,
tests and maybe some features and enhancements. this would be a ongoing
project and could be a hackathon thing for some future meetings.
the module is CMS::Simple and you can get its current git repo at
http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=urisagit/CMS-Simple.git;a=summary
as the name says it is a simple CMS thing. it can be used to make a set
of static html (or other) files given input (content) files,
configuration (in code) and some other supporting subs (filters).
is there interest in this? it would be a very educational project as it
covers writing tests, pod, making a module ready for cpan, coding perl
for new stuff in the module as well as supporting code, and more. it is
not a complex module so it is accessible to all and it is working as it
is so no major new code is needed. you can study the code base before
the next meeting and we can discuss it here and/or on irc (#boston.pm on
irc.perl.org). you can latch onto tasks you want or help out in
different areas. someone can be the patch master (not my cup of tea)
too. learning git or more git will be a side effect of working on this.
your thoughts?
thanx,
uri
