Ladies and Gentlemen, |

After consultation and discussion at length with several developers, I |
4 |
am writing to announce the impending revival of the tool known as |
5 |
app-admin/webapp-config effective immediately. If any fellow |
6 |
developers or motivated users from our superb community wish to join |
7 |
in this effort, please don't hesitate to assert your voice in the |
8 |
process by responding to this thread. We are aware of several bugs |
9 |
that need attention and towards their resolution as well as to |
10 |
facilitate a more pleasant development experience we have moved the |
11 |
repository to git.overlays.g.o proj/webapp-config.git which is also |
12 |
easily viewable via the web for those that want to follow along. |
13 |
|
14 |
While I may prefer to paint the bike shed purple and adorn it with |
15 |
Larry's beautiful head, I'm certain others have different ideas. It |
16 |
has under discussion that a fairly substantial refactor and extension |
17 |
in functionality is needed for webapp-config to bring it into the |
18 |
current era of web application frameworks (i.e. django, rails, |
19 |
erlyweb, lift, etc) while also supporting the existing functionality. |
20 |
I hope that this email serves to invite and stimulate conversation |
21 |
towards the revival of an excellent tool for Gentoo. |
22 |
|
23 |
Please let us know your thoughts and interest! |
24 |
|

Kind Regards, |
