It's awesome that you can do this without modifying Fossil. I dunno if the social networking stuff will take off or not... but the fact it can be implemented like this is amazing! Well done to you and to Richard for making Fossil flexible through simplicity ;-) [What a geeky answer.

Re: [fossil-users] Basic FossilHub functionality works
Thanks! I have several GitHub repositories (https://github.com/zot) and I use the social networking support to keep track of what's happening in other repositories and communicate with other developers. I hope some other people will see the usefulness of this and pitch in :). I'd like to move them all of my Git repos to Fossil and still have that same connectivity -- for starters, I'm moving a multiuser 3D platform I'm working on, built on top of Second Life, from Git to Fossil, so that's 4 repositories (so far).

The current code can output the timeline in JSON, but currently no other areas use JSON (for lack of energy and real use cases, not the difficulty of solving the problem). If you have concrete ideas about how having JSON output come directly from Fossil might help you to implement your hub, i'd be interested in discussing that with you and potentially adding the JSON output support. -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
