I'm just starting out with Nukes, and at first i was quite excited - but now, not so
much. I thought Nukes would be a good solid CMS core to start developing my own little
system on. I thought it would have good documentation and a strong developer
community. My mind's not completely made up on any of these points but after
installing JBoss 3.2.3 and Nukes (latest compilable) i'm a little disappointed. Take
this little nugget of advice that i eventually happened upon in the Development Forums:
one change that is good and simple. when you use nukes, you have to create a directory
called nukes : server/default/nukes
-- julien 9/10/03
thanks for letting me in on that one, but would it be so much to ask Nukes to
auto-create that directory for me on first run if i didn't happen to find that info in
the forums? I saw no mention of this anywhere in the build instructions, tutorial or
other limited documentation I found. So i had no main page in Nukes ("The file id is
not indicated" instead - also not to be found mentioned anywhere).
In a more realistic sense I completely understand how this happens. I've been writing
web apps (ColdFusion mostly) for about 5 years now and my documentation still sucks.
Not so much inline comments, but everyday plain-English docs for others to catchup on
when you're gone or otherwise occupied. Writing that kind of stuff is left til last
because many things change before you even get to write the documentation, and because
it's just not as exciting as writing features in.
here's hoping i can get my head wrapped around the way Nukes works so i can start
writing modules for it soon. thanks for your hard work. I really look forward to the
next RC soon. If anyone would like to refer me to some more comprehensive & up-to-date
tutorials I'd be much obliged... .joe
