Nope, I haven't decided on this. I still believe that using globals is valid
for this case, but I am sure that a lot of people will go mad if they see
the $ symbol. It is amusing that people consider this unacceptable:

$conf_template_root_dir = '...'

but this acceptable:

Conf["Template.root_dir"] = '...'
or
Conf[:Template][:root_dir] = '...' <--- this is curently used,
Template.root_dir is syntax sugar for Conf[:Template][:root_dir] atm.

as they are exactly the same thing...

I think that global variables are the natural choice for *global* settings,
but since everyone else disagrees I am probably wrong so I will leave the
configuration system as it is for the moment. I will just try to add some
kind of syntactic sugar for Conf[:Template][:root_dir] initialization. I am
thinking something along the lines:

Configuration.setup do
  Template.root_dir = ...
  Og.create_tables = ...
end

instead of

Configuration.Template.root_dir = ...
Configuration.Og.create_tables = ...

Perhaps you can suggest something better? In any case I need to move the
final solution to facets. (still trying to get rid of the glue gem).
As you are the Ruby guru here perhaps you could come up with a better
solution.


regards,
George.
