Cornucopt Dev Log

This ball of dung has gotten pretty big, huh

Preliminary tests on comments are going quite well on the test site, ho ho ho, and I should have some more integrated means of letting people play with them there shortly after new years. 0.2 will likely have a little more development of the adminny stuff, particularly user pages, comment deletion and usergroups, and then we’ll call it a point release. 0.3 will be weblogs, maybe some other hierarchic thingies, and probably wikified templates now that I’ve seen how easy that ought to be.

This maps pretty well to the needs of Operation: Sleeping Princess, except for some even more abstractified hierarchy that cuts to the core of Corny and will likely not be making it back into the source tree. We’re aiming for a beta of Op:SP in April.

It’s been a great year for the writing of unnecessary software! Here’s to more perverse notions and utterly compromised hackery leading the way to a better world in 2005.

IT’S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU

Work is proceeding apace on the new hierarchy-related pagetypes, as well as the new-ish pagetype architecture (that is, the total rewrite of the one aspect of Cornucopt that really makes it unique… er, actually, the second total rewrite of said aspect). It turns out that when you make a new pagetype architecture, it’s a really good idea to finish it. Also, we (the assembled… currently three of us noodling about on the test site) have been distracted by shiny brain-destroyers of the PHP phylum.

You want hints about the seekrit projekt, don’t you. Fine.
