Ok guys,
I'm turned my picky-mode on and I'm going to be a pain in your ass for a
while :)
I'm sure all of you will be delighted to hear this :)
Anyway, wondering around our nice and great CVS module (looks *much*
better now, big thanks to Giacomo and Carsten for their wonderful work!)
I found the 'scratchpad' area a nice concept, but, resonating with
Gianugo, it is very likely to become the 'place for forgotten code'.
well, 'forgotten' is not the right word: let's say
'individually-developped', which is better, but not that much.
My personal impression looking into scratchpad is that I see lots of
potentials, but I hardly see a way to try them out. Even less, a way to
help.
I know I can write to the author and ask, but what about somebody that
just grabs the CVS and wants to try new things out?
Don't rule them out: they are the very spirit of innovation!
I think that, as it is, "scratchpad" is an invidually-oriented tool. The
very name says it!
My proposal turn an individually-oriented R&D location into a
community-oriented R&D location.
How? a few suggestions
1) let's rename "scratchpad" into "whiteboard"!
2) each cocoon developer has the right to ask for a "whiteboard area"
without requiring a votation, thus the directory structure will be as
such
/src/whiteboard/[area]/
3) the /whiteboard directory contains an XML file that indicates the
'owner/s' of the area, along with a brief description of what is
supposed to do.
4) each area contains an 'INSTALL' file that indicates how to install
the 'area' on top of Cocoon and try it out.
What do you think?
