This project has had a number of contributions over the past 3 weeks (since I started), most of them coming from people that don't know git. These contributions were translations, design changes, copywriting. It was generally more difficult and time-consuming to merge in changes submitted by people who didn't use git than from people that did. Also, patches from people generated by git were generally more quality. I fully back Tobie's decision to set up some bar for contributors. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.

Octopress might also be a good option: http://github.com/imathis/octopress It's built on Jekyll, but has a number of additional features. Ryan Daigle is using it on EdgeRails.info: http://brandonmathis.com/blog/2010/02/09/edgerails.info-and-open-blogging/ -- John Long http://wiseheartdesign.com http://recursivecreative.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.

Jekyll is only needed if they want to generate the complete site to see how will a reflect when put online (not necessary in most cases). Speaking of Textile/Markdown, we're going to standardize on Markdown, right? I think that we should get rid of all Textile in this process, then? I recall we started with Textile on Mephisto but eventually started writing mostly in Markdown. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
