Ugly OddMuse bugs... One bug caused Perl crashes not even fatalsToBrowsers could catch, as far as I can tell. Got around it by specifying an artificial limit. Found a way to handle a missing `/usr/bin/merge`... In fact, there is no `/usr/bin/merge` available on this system right now.
I find it amazing that the MeatBall:FeatureKarma idea seems to work for Oddmuse. With all that code writing, and a new upload feature, and bugfixes, and more tests – it continues at 3970 lines of Perl. And it doesn’t look sharp as a diamond – it looks just like ordinary code.
We’re having even more cool discussions over on MeatBall:RefactorLater, MeatBall:SpaghettiRecentChanges, and even MeatBall:RssInclusion. The latter is important for my OddMuse work. I’m not sure the RSS inclusion is useful. I’m considering to remove it.
MeatBall:SpaghettiRecentChanges
Aaargh! NO! Don’t remove RSS includes. It was what converted me to OddMuse in the first place. And very inspirational. Everytime I try to persuade people of the idea that wiki could be their annotated front end to a complex information system, the RSS include feature is what finally persuades them. – PhilJones
I see. I was toying with the idea to merge news from various sources into on “RSS include”. Maybe I’ll do that and see whether RSS includes are more useful to me, then.
