<br>on I will be heading up Nitro development along with George. My goal<br>is to push Nitro into a high quality 1.0 release as quickly as<br>possible. My priorities are:<br><br>(1) Uber User Friendly.<br><br>Basically I want to do something like:
<br><br> $ gem install nitro<br> $ ntiro demo helloworld<br><br>and<br><br> $ gem install nitro<br> $ nitro create ~/mynitroprojects/foofish<br> $ nitro start ~/mynitroprojects/foofish<br><br>Without one single hickup.
<br><br>(2) "Like-Butter" Development<br><br>I would like to get a central repo up. And create some firm standards<br>for branching and tagging.<br>Also, I want to improve the development toolset to make standard tasks
<br>very simple, get the repo in such nice-and-neat order it's freaky, and<br>eventually have some automated tools that keep us all well informed on<br>a regular basis.<br><br>(3) Doc Wizard<br><br>I want to find someone who's willing to contribute considerable effort
<br>to working on Nitro docs once we get passed the 0.50 release. I will<br>help on this of course, but it would be best to find someone who can<br>focus almost exclusively on this aspect of Nitro --this includes PR.<br>We're looking at the Oxy, API Wiki, RDocs, the Website(s) and
<br>hopefully in the end the first published book. (Did you catch that, a<br>BOOK! My job isn't complete until there's a BOOK.)<br><br>(4) Ruby 1.9/JRuby support<br><br>Around the end of the year I will start focusing on getting Nitro
<br>running smoothly on Ruby 1.9 and JRuby, we will also have a try at<br>other VMs. YARV, Rubinius, IronRuby, etc.<br><br>(5) Support George<br><br>George is always pushing forward, so I'm going to bridge the gap<br>
between him and a stable Nitro framework. While I also help him with<br>his more pressing needs, such as a new formhelper, admin part, etc.<br><br>As always, please provide all and any suggestions you have to offer,<br>and if you have time to put in some elbow greese, please let me know,
<br>and I will hook you up.<br><br>In closing let me say, A VERY BIG THANKS TO GEORGE who has made this<br>opportunity possible!<br><br>T.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Nitro-general mailing list
