My complaints really began with this very point; recall one of my
original points was the poor state of documentation concerning the
idiosyncratic installation requirements of Typo.
If it were more clear why I should consider installing another web
server just to run Typo from Typo's own docs, perhaps I wouldn't be
complaining about the docs.
You have issues with
Typo and want help. Is this really how you ask for help?
I certainly wasn't asking Scott for help, and he certainly wasn't
providing any. He jumped in to tell me my assessment of the state
of Ruby/Rails/Typo installation was wrong, which is simply
incorrect. He's offered nothing of value to me in re: my actual
problems.
My original posts to this list met with either no response at all,
or, more recently, helpful responses from Frederic. Frankly, I was
surprised, after that, to get Scott's fanboy eruptions. I believe I
dealt with him appropriately, and with a level of grace appropriate
for handling such a poster.
Perhaps you mistook my emails as a knee-jerk nonsense emails. But I
was trying to get more information to provide some assistance,
however I was not getting any valid feedback. I realize I did not
word them in a way that you wanted, however my intent was to get
more information to help.
I searched through old emails trying to find any information of why
you could not do this or that, and Truthfully all I could find were
posts related to "MarsEdit". Which those bugs have been fixed in
trunk, if you want you can try updating to "Trunk" and see if that
fixes your problems?
I've fixed MetaWeblog API tags issues as well in trunk today. However,
it seems marsedit doesn't support that feature (or didn't found how to
do so). Other issue for me is that the Metaweblog API provides a
getCategories method, but no way to getKeywords, which means 2 things :
– Using the metaweblog API won't let you see which tags already exist
on your blog (our wb based admin interface now have tags autocompletion)
– Editing a post will make you delete every tags used so far from this
post, unless you remember them and add them by hand.
Regarding the documentation, I've been talking with a friend today
about what we should provide. Cool things came up, and amongst them
the fact we should officially support one installation way of self
hosting Typo, which means the easiest one (obvious heh ?). Having to
choose between 3 webservers, and 3 ways to serve pages (mod_rails,
(Fast)CGI and application server) is just too confusing for people. If
they want to deploy their webserver an exotic way (that's to say
without Apache + MySQL which are the most widespread things you've
ever found on the Internet), it's not our problem. However, we'll keep
the existing docs about exotic configs for information purpose.
redmine.typosphere.org is a wiki, if someone want to complete... it's
up to him / her.
Was my 2 cents, now I must leave you, I've a release t finish before
sunday and I'd love to add some more fancy things if I can (like
autosave). If anyone want to help instead of just trolling :-)
