Hi,
Recently, someone checked in a class 'Sitestat.java" in the core (ver
1.7). This class is an escaper which allows you to escape identifiers
for sitestat counters (a utility from a dutch compaby taht allwos you to
keep statistics on your site).
Personally, I find this too specific for the MMBase core, but others
have different opinions on it.
I don't see how we can make a proper, and clean, 'core' mmbase if we
include all kinds of example code, especially if some of it is rather
specific (even if it is used quite broadly in the Netherlands).
Hence, my question: what do we include in the Core?
Allowing a whole range of escaper code opens the door to other specific
solutions and means that the MMBase Core becomes less what it is
supposed to be (or at least how I envision it, which may ofcourse be
totally wrong).
I feel more for a 'utilities' or 'examples' application, where these
tools could have a place.
But I also know others don't and like to add as much as possible to the
core to make it more useful.
What are other people's opinion on this?
