| rindolf | But the kernel for me just works. |
| jagerman | rindolf: I'm hoping to get my gallery project finally usable |
| rindolf | I upgrade every -rc, and it still works. jagerman: ah. jagerman: is it FOSS? Another gallery? |
| jagerman | Yes Yes :) |
| rindolf | jagerman: oh cool. |
| jagerman | But this one has a cool name: Imaginary |
| rindolf | jagerman: but actually I have my own silly gallery generating scriptdom. OR scriptplex |
| jagerman | Not perlGallery or phpimagegallery or any of those sort of hopeless names. |
| rindolf | jagerman: you should trademark it. But Imaginary is a word. |
| jagerman | rindolf: This is going to be Web 3.5 |
| rindolf | jagerman: you should aim for Web2K! |
| jagerman | No, no, people might assume it has a y2k bug if I did that. |
| rindolf | jagerman: Oh. 19100 |
| jagerman | Anyway, I have all sorts of cool ideas of things to do with it. |
| rindolf | jagerman: well, as you wish. |
| somian | O_O |
| rindolf | jagerman: sometimes I wish newcomers did not have so much NIH syndrome and worked on existing projects. But everyone is too l33t so he needs to start from scratch. |
| somian | National Institutes of Health Syndrome? |
| rindolf | I was too to some extent. perlbot: nih |
| perlbot | Not Invented Here, the implicit mantra of large (or close-minded (or both)) development houses, where using, looking at, stealing ideas from, or even acknowledging the existence of other software is a sign of weakness. |
| rindolf | Once upon a time CAD systems came with their own dedicated hardware, their own operating systems and finally the systems themselves. Then came the UNIXes and the VMSen. |
| jagerman | rindolf: Well, the problem is that I have a fairly clear direction of where I want it to go, and nothing out there currently comes close. |
| rindolf | jagerman: can't you extend something existing? |
| jagerman | I suppose I could, but I also want this to be a clean design. |
| rindolf | Someone took GNU m4 and turned it into mp4h which uses SGML tags as macros and is completely different. jagerman: OK. |
| jagerman | Catalyst, DBIx::Class, well-structured, all XML and XSLT-based |
| rindolf | NIH! jagerman: nifty! jagerman: let me know if you'd like to contribute to something existing. I have plenty of things for you or anyone else to do. |
