[Sphpblog-development] Development News

[Alexander P. <ap...@bi...>]

Hi All,

I've been pretty lazy about posting to these lists in the past. Well, 
starting today, I'm going to change that. :)

The first thing to do is figure out the best way to work together so we 
can all collaborate. Where should development files be posted? Should 
we start a road-map? Assign tasks? Any suggestions?

(I tried to get CVS working yesterday, but I have no experience with 
it. I'm sure I can get it working given so more time, if that's what 
everyone wants to do...)


VERSION 0.3.7 DEVELOPMENT
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Guti and I have been working together on what will become 0.3.7. So 
far, we've got RSS working and it looks good (passes RSS validators 
100%.)

We're also working on enabling GZip compression for the data files. And 
also enabling compression on pages that are served up. This should save 
disk space and also bandwidth.

And, I'm going to add Categories... For this release, you will be able 
to assign categories to you posts. However, this is mostly  for the RSS 
feeds. (There won't be any, "sort by category" functionality just 
yet...)

1) RSS support
      a) rss.php (done)
      b) pings (working, but need to add list of servers to ping in 
"setup.php")
2) Compression
      a) compression of .txt files (working)
      b) Re-write functions to handle .txt and .txt.gz
      c) compression of http output browser (working)
      d) Add checkbox for "database" compression to "setup.php"
      e) Add checkbox for "browser output" compression to "setup.php"
3) Categories
      a) Add dropdown list to "add.php", "preview_cgi.php", etc...
      b) Manage categories functionality in "setup.php" ???  (or new 
page?)
