I'm going to take a stab at it again tomorrow. I'll post to this list when i hit weird roadblocks. I look forward to writing some blog posts for beginners so the same situations wont keep happening.

Hey Joshua,

Joshua Jonah a écrit :
I'm a Python developer who has experience with web frameworks. I'm
comfortable with Django, Pylons, etc.

Moovida's architecture is not quite like a web-framework, although it
does have some patterns in common.

I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start with writing plugins.
Is there some awesome resource I am missing? The developers guide
doesn't really help explain anything for me, the example plugin is way
to complicated to understand. You need like a tutorial or something.

That's what the developers guide and the example plugin are all about.
If you can't figure out how to get started, then they obviously fail to
achieve their goal somehow, and we'd love to understand how.

Even trying to modify my example plugin and getting my head around
LinksMenuController's and shit is crazy. Maybe I'm trying to fit it
together in a web context or something.

It may be so. In any case if you could take the time to explain in
details what doesn't seem to make sense to you, or how you think you
would improve the developers guide, that would be of great value to us.
You're probably not the only developer out there who finds it hard to
get started on Moovida, let's improve the situation.

I'd love to start working on this project, where should I start?

P.S: Pygments seems like a hairy beast.

As pointed out by Michał already, pigment
(https://code.fluendo.com/pigment/trac) is not to be confused with
pygments, which is a completely different thing.

Cheers,

Olivier
