By "citadel-thunderbird interactivity" I assume you mean CalDAV. Yes, that's
already in WebCit-
NG and it already works. So it'll be there out of the gate.
What about things such as shared calendars and address books?
I kinda think I reported long ago that these were not working properly on current Webcit (ok, maybe just calendar for now...).With another quick look I remembered what's not working in the calendar: the attendees for when creating new
Nearly all of my long term plans for Citadel *depend* on webcit-ng.
Specifically,
all of the ActivityPub (mastodon compatibility) and other global plans are
going to require the webcit-ng engine in order to work at all.
It's happening -- I just keep finding other things that need to be
Er, by chance still any plans for Webcit-ng?I'm still willing to contribute someway, in non-dev stuff -cause I'm no dev-...
Thanks
It goes in fits and spurts. Once I get started on something it tends to happen
fast. Most of the things I've been working on have been internal improvements
that don't show up in the user interface.

Thanks IG.
Just hope you are able to find another spare

Yes, we'd love some more help. Just need to figure out how to get you into the system.
Mm, may I ask what this meant?Thanks again.
Nope! I'm an infrastructure architect for a data center company. I write
software in my spare time.
Good work mr IG.
("not a professional software developer"?)...
"march mode" code is in progress. It's proving out the "REST API + JavaScript
UI" model pretty well. (Yes I know, I'm the last person in the known universe
to start doing this but ... remember I'm not a professional software developer.)
It reminds me of the old days, when we used to
Today I'm poking around in webcit-ng and adding some of the "goto next room"
code. I'm thinking that we could put up a version of UNCENSORED! that uses
this code once we get some of the basic message board stuff usable.

Sounds like a documentation-type job...
If it indirectly benefits Webcit even a bit, would you allow one more hand for the job by chance?I could also test and check which pages from current Citadel website are outdated, and perhaps fix...
Also, wondering if you are planning to add SSL/TLS
Actually the other big deal going on right now is redoing the project web
site.
http://wwwdev.citadel.org
The new site removes DokuWiki and is being built with W3CSS, the exact same
framework that's being used for WebCit-NG. Instead of being delivered via
a content management system,
Thanks again mr IG.
So, IIUC, you're also prioritizing other stuff equally important to Citadel project.
So basically Webcit-ng will still be in the queue for the time being yet still considered, right?
As for me, even when I already started to read -right now the of databases-, it'd take me a
There are a couple of things I need to work on next. webcit-ng is the big
one, but I've also been making a lot of changes in the background over the
last couple of months. These changes don't add new features, but they are
moving the remaining standalone data files into the database.
What part of the code?
I want to get this code into your hands, even if it's only a skeleton at this
point. It's a very good framework and when I get around to fleshing it out,
it's going to be a much nicer base than the current WebCit code. I think
what I'm going to do is offer it as a technology preview in the next
Thanks again mr IG.Mm... wouldn't I actually have a more or less "complete" development environment in the server already, thanks to Easy Install itself?AFAIU, only differences would be, I'm using git clone instead of the tar-ed files, and the git-cloned sources ship more individual components
Hmm. I'm trying to think of an easy way to make webcit-ng available without requiring a complete build environment.
Maybe a hidden option in Easy Install that will make it download and build that component?
Running in test server, which was installed from scratch a month ago with Centos 7.6 and latest Citadel through Easy Install.I do run Easy install script with certain frequency for update.
Are you building on the same server that runs your production Citadel system,
or a different one? The reason I am asking is because your production system
will already have the dependencies set up, especially if you ran Easy Install.
I apologize beforehand for this kind of question if it's a bit annoying; truth is this would be my very first time building something from source...
As mentioned, I git-cloned the whole Citadel tree (branch Master, since I didn't specify any branch to git).Now, I thought I could build only the
webcit-ng uses conf-IG-ure instead of GNU Autotools, so it doesn't need a
bootstrap script. Just run the configure script and it will take care of
itself.
I cloned from git, and noticed, as Citadel website says, that there's no configure script; it must be generated.
I already checked I have GNU Autoconf and Libtools, but thing is, webcit-ng directory doesn't have any bootstrap script.Could/should I use the one in webcit directory?
And for
Sure, you could run it on the same machine that runs your Citadel server,
just build it in another directory and run it on another port. You'll have
to build it from the git repository. It doesn't require any special privileges
and it won't interfere with your production system.
Is it possible to have both at same time, and in someway choosing either Webcit or Webcit-ng?
Or one does replace/overwrites the other?
If you're interested, you should get a webcit-ng running, just to check out
the build system and the progress made on it so far. It should build cleanly,
pretty much anywhere, and you can point it at any existing Citadel server
(such as your own production system, or even uncensored.citadel.org)
That is great! I realized that was my issue when I tried to compile against
the git is that I still was following the webcit-ng branch, so the compile
failed.
It looks like it worked this time. Will let you know if there are issues.
