Re: [Chategory-devl] Versioning: Chategory 2.0, 3.0

Just to give you all an update.

I've been a bit busy as of late (last week or two). I have, however,
redesigned how Chategory stores messages. Have a bit of a snag with cycling
through them, but given a bit of time I can iron that out. When I finish it=
,
I'll upload a zip of it, because it does have some major changes from what
we have now. Basically, what I worked up uses a directory for the data, and
Chategory stores the files in with numeric names that increase. Eg: 0.xml,
1.xml, 2.xml, ect. I've modified the next and back links (and of course the
API has a big change) so you can cycle through all of these seamlessly. I'v=
e
got archiving/cleanout checks for when you post a new message, figured that
was the best way. The only snag, like I said, is I'm having some logic
problems with cycling backwards through messages, but that's probably
because I'm not thinking straight as of late. Soon to be ironed out.

Also, is anyone working on templating? I've got some ideas floating around
for doing that all, but I don't want to launch into some major work on it i=
f
somebody else is already working on it.
