Hey, it's me poking my head briefly out of hiding here... I'm the lout
responsible for Iaido and it's subsequent (temporary?) mothballing. Glad
you think I have some cool apps with it, few that they are. My problem is
that all my round tuits and copious amounts of free time dried up with a new
job and a promotion. That's about when I disappeared from around this
mailing list and stopped updating my projects on SourceForge. (Got a new
one on the way, though, new employers permitting)
So, I'm trying to install OpenInteract now since from 50,000 ft it sounds a
lot like what I was trying to do with Iaido. Using Template Toolkit for the
presentation... abstracted data management... Need to look around more.
I'd be more than glad to help you and maybe even have Iaido get eaten up by
your project since I seem to have lost the momentum to sustain it by myself.
There are a lot of neat things going in in Iaido, and still on my TODO list
for it to get completely tossed, though. (Like, I really want to get that
FTPd interface to the data store up and running again :) )
Anyway, having major problems getting past the oi_manage install_sql step so
far, maybe I'll post to the -dev list or the bugs on sourceforge.
