Re: Greenpeace Launches Cyberactivist Community

I'd love to. After all, I just spent weeks trying to figure out how to use LoginManager with no documentation and only a few hints from mail archives and scattered references on Zope.org.
But this raises the question of the future of Swishdot, which is supposed to integrate with the Zope PTK.
I got tired of waiting for the bugs in the PTK to be fixed, which is why I decided to enhance Squishdot instead.
I'd be happy to make these features public, but maybe they should somehow be rolled into a future Squishdot release rather than forking the code?
Chris, are you reading this? What do you think?

Swishdot/PTK/changes

Well, this is open source, so 'patches are always welcome' (tm) ;-)
Seriously, though, the PTK has a much better architecture now and will have a much longer life span. Likewise with Swishdot, however I think they're both a way off. So, here's a mini-proposal:
1. Put in a few bug-fixes/etc that have been hanging around for a while and release Squishdot 1.0.0 (woohoo!)
2. Add in your changes, write up what you did as a how-to and release Squishdot 2.0
3. When the PTK and Swishdot are ready, release Swishdot 1.0
Sound like a plan?
cheers,
Chris

I'd be happy writing a How To. However, our Cyberactivist Community authenticates off a PostgreSQL database, and uses a whole lot of ZSQL methods that are quite different from the current Squishdot code.
Rather than taking Squishdot in a random direction, how about I just writing the How To, and perhaps making my rather unelegant hacks available as an example rather than a Squishdot release.
After all, Swishdot is coming eventually, right?
Kevin

Re: Swishdot/PTK/changes: when?

Any idea when PTK and Swishdot will be "done"? I'm considering starting with Squishdot now, and not excited by the prospect of facing a migration in 2 months...

For the PTK, you'd have to ask Digital Creations.
For Swishdot, well, all depends on time. If someoen wants to throw a _large_ bundle of cash at my employers, I'm sure it could become a higher priority ;-)
cheers,
Chris
