Just wondering when/if the grand rename is gonna occur?
from #openguides...
(12:06:27) MRJC: given that Kake said that CGI/Wiki.pm doesn't do any actual CGI
(12:06:48) MRJC: Wiki::Toolkit was the popular opinion (12:07:09) MRJC: jerakeen? (12:43:42) jerakeen: yo (12:44:09) jerakeen: I was very free last weekend... (12:44:13) MRJC: the grand rename? (12:44:18) MRJC: so was I (12:44:48) MRJC: historical fact: not a lot of use apart from lessons learnt (12:45:37) MRJC: :) (12:51:36) MRJC: so next weekend, you are busy? (13:10:11) jerakeen: basically, short-term, I have no time at all. (13:10:22) jerakeen: long term, I can't plan for because my life is completely stuffed. (13:10:28) jerakeen: this is annoying. (13:10:56) MRJC: well, can you tell us your position, so we can proceed knowing what you want? (13:11:32) MRJC: actually, I have very little knowledge of Cgi::Wiki, so it would be down to Kake et al. (13:11:39) MRJC: to interpret what you say. (13:11:41) jerakeen: yep. i want an oop way of dealing with the wiki and it's nodes. (13:12:08) jerakeen: there are 2 objectives. Rename CGI::Wiki, and make it nice. (13:12:16) jerakeen: They're completely independant, frankly. (13:12:32) MRJC: ok, can we do them separately then? (13:12:39) jerakeen: justin's opinion is that we should leave CGI::Wiki as it is, and Wiki::Toolkit should be a new thing that wraps it and provides an oop interface (13:13:05) jerakeen: this is a very compelling argument, but I'm nervous of it because nowadays I prefer incremental work over rebuilding things (13:13:13) MRJC: sounds sensible. the skin and fillet approach. (13:13:43) jerakeen: but, ok, proposal, we make Wiki::Toolkit quite a thin layer of OOP stuff on top of CGI::Wiki, at least initially. (13:13:56) MRJC: eventually the fillet ends up in Wiki::Toolkit (13:14:20) MRJC: working towards CGI::Wiki becoming the empty shell (13:14:30) jerakeen: then we can do two things simultaneously - we can port all the old CGI::Wiki-using things over to using the new interface, and we can refactor the innards to remove the CGI::Wiki dep. (13:14:35) jerakeen: yep (13:15:03) jerakeen: just make sure you get the API right when you design it. (13:15:29) MRJC: who else do we need to get agreement from on this? Kake, Earle? (13:15:55) jerakeen: make sure Dom is happy too. (13:16:05) jerakeen: Don't know who else. Send mail to cgi-wiki-dev
