The question came about what to do with the code that exists in the LJ code (and now the DW code) that supports advertising. I.e., the implementation of advertising. Technically, we could keep the code, even though we aren't going to be doing any advertising ourselves. This gives other sites that may use the DW code the ability to advertise on their own site. With this in mind, the decision was made the other day to keep the code in the codebase and go for it.
A few days have gone by now and I've gotten to thinking more about the actual maintainability of the system. Since we won't actually be using or testing this code, it will become more and more of a burden on our limited development resources. I'd rather spend time or see people spend time on implementing features DW will use than fix a bug reported by Foowidth, etc etc. With that in mind, the policy is now: rip it out. If you see ads code, you have license to kill, shred, maim, etc. Thanks! -- Mark Smith / xb95 [email protected] _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
