I don't discard either providing financial support if needed for a web designer. I think Freddy and Ben are the most active developers at the moment (correct me if I'm wrong), so they should agree on how to manage/delegate all this. Ideally, I think that the new website should come along with a new tag that correct the major bugfixes there might be at the moment. I agree that its features are complete, but there are always new things to add. For example, in DynamicMappingFilter, can I use regexps? Regarding Freedy's comment, it should be cool to have rayures + stripesstuff as a separate module to use.
Btw (as a off-off-topic), when using stipersist/JPA, do we need an OpenSessionInView filter, or everything just works out of the box? :) -- Dani On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 6:12 PM, Aurangzeb Agha <ama...@gmail.com> wrote: > Morten Matras <morten.mat...@...> writes: >> Great. >> >> I think we're working towards a concept here. >> >> Anything else we should be doing: >> >> 1) Blogs for everybody that wants to write >> 2) New front page >> 3) Documentation remaining in the wiki for now > > Morten, I'd be thrilled to work with you to help define the site structure and > come up with a new approach to present and market Stripes if you're open to my > input. > > I've been eagerly following this thread and am glad to see that it came about > and thrilled at the number of people that have contributed to it. > > I'd be interested in taking a part-ownership role in helping to develop a new > website for Stripes with the purpose of giving it a new marketing face, > attracting more users/developers, and making its use (and its extensions use) > more wide-spread. > > I'd ask though that before we go down this path and risk losing the momentum > behind the parent thread, that we: > > pre-a) Get Ben's OK and his thoughts.
