- we made some themes based on the one I made for dbxtalk, the one
from stef's personal website and esug website.
- we tried to push site configuration to the pillar.conf (title,
menu/navigation information, author/contact info)
I had a look at Cocoon but I'm not sure what purpose it serves. Maybe
I need to get to used to it.
This is to decouple the code managing the configuration parameter from
Pier because we have different needs for Ecstatic
- another thing we wanted to push was the writing of plugins for
the moment taking benefit from the [[[eval=true]]]. We were thinking
however on making a special annotation for it. We have two really
simple stupid "plugins", one that shows a list of news/blog feed, one
that generates a list of publications based on a bib file using citezen.
YES! That is exactly what I was looking for. Something that can be
evaluated dynamically. That opens a wide range of possibilities.
but for web site you do not want to get somebody to hack your system.
So this is why we are defining pluggings.
I originally started this for the new dbxtalk site which is written
basically in pillar.
http://dbxtalk.smallworks.eu/
You can see the source code of this site in here:

Nice!
Of course, there you will notice a lot of *workarounds* to make it
work. I've made a list of those workarounds and sent them to Cyril to
see if we can have better support for them in pillar.
I'd be pleased if you contribute and push it :). We have this trello
board to add ideas and manage our backlog

Thanks. I think I'll find some time this weekend to see how your
project fits into my needs. I'll be happy nagging you about some things ;)
