[myhdl-list] Noob on the list

[Newell J. <pil...@gm...>]

Hi all,

A little bit about me:
I am new to the list but have been keeping a distant eye on myhdl for some
time.  I am currently a google summer of code participant working for the
gEDA project.  I am creating from scratch, a project manager that
incorporates all the different tools in the gEDA suite and puts them in one
place and also manages your project and all its files.  I am using Python
and PyGTK.

Jan, I saw that you are looking for a CMS for myhdl.org.  I am actually
currently in the process of creating my own blog using Django and Byteflow.
Byteflow is a blog engine that also shows up as a CMS on wikipediea.  I
think it has everything that you are looking for.

I hope to actually get used to myhdl more in the future so that I can use it
in some hardware designs as well as contribute to the project.

Cheers,

Mm, note that the competition is dokuwiki, as currently used on the
myhdl.jandecaluwe.com. I believe a wiki (plus access control) is closer
to our first needs than a blog.

On the subject, my current thinking about a "dream CMS" is as
follows:

- based on Django (or Turbogears or pylons): this gives us Python
and extensibility
- using restructured text as entry format instead of some wiki format:
then we can use a single format for all documentation
- using mercurial for revision control - as opposed to a wiki-specific
half-baked system.

And of course, the feature list should be as good as dokuwiki, which
is really not that bad.
