[Openinteract-help] Activity and documentation

[Stephan <au...@hc...>]

Hi,

currently I'm looking for a web application server written in Perl. I
discovered OpenInteract and it looks suitable for my project. Before
starting with this tool I have three questions:

- Is there any ongoing development for this tool?
- Can I download the OI(2) documentation (PDF or similar) somewhere?
- Shall I use OI2 for new projects or will it be better to use OI1 and
migrate later?

Thank you very much for your help,

Stephan

Mostly it is Chris who develops the core OI2, but occasional patches 
come from other people.

AFAIK no. It would be nice if somebody took the time to make a 
conversion script for the manuals to PDF, but as to date this has not 
happened.

Migration from OI1 to OI2 is not very painless so I would recommend 
starting off with OI2. We have been using OI2 for quite a long time 
already and haven't found any showstoppers. Also I think the API does 
not currently have any major changes in the planning so upgrading the 
development versions should not be a big issue.

Hi Antti!

Thanks for your response! There doesn't seem to be much activity on 
OpenInteract so I decided to try Catalyst instead.
