| by whoops on 2008/1/2 21:10:55 Thanks phppp, you are very kind. I have filled in a bit more detail and added one more point. The additional point is not really a concrete proposal as such but it outlines what I believe to be very interesting consequences of adopting the portability and easy installing/updating ideas. Basically, as I argued here, there is a happy half-way house between centralisation a la Microsoft and an anarchy. I draw an analogy with Linux (more specifically Ubuntu). Like Xoops, it also involves distributed development of heterogeneous software but crucially it is focussed by proper version control and dependencies, to the point of having an easy installation and an excellent automatic updater, despite being arguably a lot more complex than Xoops. Not to put a too fine point on it, if we can pull the same thing off here, we will have a big and beautiful All Singing All Dancing Web Based "Linux"!. Of course, it won't be Linux but it can, in principle, do most things. |

| by phppp on 2008/1/2 15:22:35 whoops, I noticed your proposal on sourceforge wiki, which is very valuable and in-depth. For the specifications/standards, I discussed with two developers very briefly during a face-to-face meeting, no paperwork yet. But anyway, now we get this part started in public. Look forward to your further inputs. |

| by Quest on 2008/1/2 12:12:35 @Vargr Just remember, the template overiding doesn't seem to work if you are using a cloned template set. It does work and works great, as long as your default template in your admin/system/preferences/general-settings is set to Default and not a cloned template set. At least that has been my experience. Best of Luck! And remember: Never condemn those who try and fail, save that for those who never try.. :) Quest |
