splendid.

Guy touched upon the possibility of adding code to webmacro earlier today.
I would like to just ask briefly what the current status of webmacro is?  I
have been using it daily pretty much since its inception and I don't really
have any intention of stopping using it in the near future.  I know that Tim
is using it.  Is anyone else using it?

If people are using it then are they generally using it on a "writing
templates that get parsed by webmacro" level or are they writing extensions
and plugins etc in java space?  I'm primarily working out whether if we
propose things that change the java API but keep the template evaluation
consistent whether or not this will get peoples' backs up.

Finally, is there an easy way to find out how many people are subscribed to
the various lists?  Are the other sourceforge admins subscribed?  Do we have
the login to the mailman interface to find out?  I'm not sure whether I'm
talking to 10, 100 or 1000 people...

Alex

You're talking to 22 on this list; as an admin, you have access to this information via sourceforge's Project Admin > Features > Mailing Lists management page.

Cheers,

Guy.

Hi!  I'm an email address from the past.

I personally stopped using WebMacro back in '07 when I quit my day job to open a bar/poolroom.  I sold it back in November, and now I'm back with my previous employer.

We still use WebMacro, but not like we used to.  We're rewriting our webapp's UI with GWT, so there's (basically) no HTML at all.

We're now only using WM for our custom source-code generation tool.  We have zero intentions of moving beyond whatever hacked-up version we're using in-house.

I'm still subscribed to this list, but don't monitor it because it's full of spam.  I just happen to notice a few names I recognized.

If I'm still a SF admin (drater), then I've got access to the mailing lists.  It'll take me awhile to try and remember the password I set, but once I do, I'm happy to relinquish power to someone else more interested in WM's future.

I know the feeling wrt computers.  Fortunately I manage to balance my
programming with about 2 or 3 months a year doing live sound for concerts so
I hope that this should provide a nice sustainable balance...

Are there any components in your "hacked-up" version that might be useful
outside your company and would making them more widely available be of
interest to you?

Guy has tracked down the appropriate place in sourceforge so this isn't
necessary.

Looks like our only change from WM CVS (as of a few years ago) is a new method in FastWriter.java and ByteBufferOutputStream.java:

FastWriter:
    public void resetTo(int size) {
        _bstream.resetTo(size);
    }

BBOS:
    public void resetTo(int pos) {
        if (pos >= _buf.length)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(pos + ">=" + _buf.length);
        _pos = pos;
    }

Combined with FastWriter.size(), it lets you do a mark/restore on the FastWriter.  We found this useful to "rollback" partial writes to the stream in the event of an Exception.

Great.  Maybe one of you guys can become the mailing list admin and I can stop receiving all the bounce and moderator notifications.  :)

I have set myself as the admin for each of the lists.
