[ZooLib-dev] website stuff, propaganda

[Michael D. C. <cra...@go...>]

I need to get a little consulting work out of the way and then I can update the 
website to reflect the new version.  The sourceforge download page has the new 
code but the pages at http://www.zoolib.org/ don't.

Another thing I'd like to do is generate doxygen HTML files and put the whole 
ball 'o wax on the website.  That way people can browse the sources and doxygen 
doc with a web browser.

I've been planning to put what I have of the zoolib cookbook on the website 
too, but before I do I should really add a discussion of ZAsset, both how to 
use them in your code and how to use the compiler.

Finally I'd like to write an article discussing what zoolib's all about and 
what's in the new release, and publish it either at http://advogato.org/ or 
else at http://www.kuro5hin.org/

More people read Kuro5hin in general but Advogato is more focused on Open 
Source developers.  I'm not sure which site would be best.  There's lots of 
programmers who read Kuro5hin, I've published a couple programming articles 
there before that were popular.

It would be helpful to give me suggestions as to what I should talk about in my 
article.  What are ZooLib's advantages over competing API's - not just other 
cross-platform frameworks, but over all application frameworks, both open 
source and proprietary?  I should acknowledge any disadvantages too, both 
architectural ones and areas where things are just not finished yet.

I'm going to wait to write the article until I've got all the updates to the 
website in place.
