[Borges-users] some implementation ideas for Borges

Hi all,

in the past week I've been experimenting with different ideas for the 
Borges implementation. (There were a lot of them! =)) For a 
proof-of-concept, it turned out easier for me to write a "minimal 
Borges" for testing purposes, from scratch, with a lot of unit tests. 
I called the thing Yo, I'm attaching the zip file. (No installation 
required - just unzip it somewhere. I also didn't include the unit 
tests.) It's definitely not for the general public, but people hacking 
on Borges could be interested to take a look. 

The core source code is about 6 kilobytes, all in all; to get a feel 
for the interface, see sample.rb. To see it in action, run sample.rb, 
and then open sample.html . The API is mostly self explanatory. The 
internals are really rough now, I'll be cleaning them up anyway. And 
no, I didn't lift any of the code directly from Borges.

Don't get upset at me, Yo isn't meant to be a Borges replacement, or 
even a separate app - it's just a proof-of-concept for some thoughts 
of mine.
