[pluckdev] Current state of pluck

2010-03-19T16:18:01Z

Hi guys,

After a time of silence, this week the developers of pluck (me, Spirit55555
and A_Bach) had a meeting about the future of pluck. You can read the report
of that meeting here: http://www.pluck-cms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=812

Because we agreed that some things needed to change for the development to run
smoothly again, I created a proposal for a project structure:
http://www.pluck-cms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=817

I'd also like to note that the main center of developers discussion has
shifted to the forum at pluck-cms.org: http://www.pluck-
cms.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=12

Hope to see you at the forums!

Kind regards,
Sander

[pluckdev] Fwd: Message from your website from Natan Alter

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: <alternata99@gmail.com>;
Date: 2010/2/9
Subject: Message from your website from Natan Alter
To: ekyo.serwis@gmail.com

I can't find a way to contact with "Somp "(developer/s of Pluck) to
ask him/them to send info about the CMS to www.cmsmatrix.org and get
Pluck listed on its info-comparison matrix (it's the most popular CMS
related site).
CMS guys don't list the CMS if the developer does not send its information.
I suppose you can get in topuch with Somp. Please, let him/them know about that.
Thanks.

Sounds good, A_Bach! I will take a look at it if I have some time.

About the other points you're mentioning (the todo-list): I've just created a
development subforum on pluck-cms.org. I think it's easier to discuss the
points there, because we can create a new topic for each subject. That's a lot
easier.

Link to the forum: http://www.pluck-cms.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=12

I hereby also invite anyone else to put your development-matters on the forums
;)

Kind regards,
Sander

some bugs :)

Todo and to thing about list:
* languages center
* pluck logo content
* dev forum
* album read/write more?

its rather hidden. Its hard to find for beginers

Who will work on whith part?

A_Bach

If you'd be willing to help out with development, I think that would be
greatly appreciated. About the changes you're proposing; have you already
created a seperate branch on launchpad for that?

> I think forum would be more practical than mailing list.
I will create a forum for development communication soon.

Kind regards,
Sander

Hello All,

I think that a forum is mainly better because threads concerning a
certain topic will be kept, and can be easily read back. On the other
hand, I feel that I am much more likely to read a message that I receive
by mail, than to check the forum every time.

So while I think a forum might be a great place to discuss implementing
features, I would like to keep the mailing list for announcements,
questions and new feature requests.

As for development, I'm currently quite busy, but I assume I will be
able to work much more actively on pluck in the coming year. Seeing that
it is not my CMS of choice for smaller websites. I'm mainly interested
in extending the module mechanism, as well as the styling of the website
and administration environment.

Regards,

Bart

Well. I can halp if you want. But the main thing i need is working
rewrite in pluck. I need one more thing in core to do that. Enything
else can go to the module but reading of url string need to be done
before all other things in the script.

Hi all,

Sorry for the late answer.
I certainly hope that pluck will not die. I still don't have time for pluck,
and I don't think that that will change the coming year. This means there are
only two active developers (A_Bach and Anders), but Anders is quite busy too.
So that means that it's a good idea to attract more developers. Anyone ideas
on how to do that?

Next: communication. Maybe it'd be good idea to use the forum for development
too. Should we make a closed forum or an open one? Open is best I think: the
mailing list is open too...

Please tell me what you think.
Kind regards,
Sander

Hello,

First of all, Sander is not the only one who hasn't got the time ATM. I have had a lot of work recently, manly because of Christmas. I will have more time now, or that is what I hope.

When Sander started the mailing list, I asked why we couldn't use a forum instead, which I still prefer. E-mail is just too old for me... We could also try Google Wave? I have a lot of invitations.

I have been very careful not to bloat pluck with a lot of features. While the code for sub-pages took a lot of time to create, the only thing it has added to the admin interface, is a select input. I have also created a new module system, because I want most of the features to be modules. So I still think pluck is small.

Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards
Anders Jørgensen

Hello,

may I say somethings to this:
When I discovered Pluck I tried it to realise some small projects and I
found it very helpfull, where other CMS seemed to be over-sized.

Unfortunately I did not have the Time to participate in this project as I
liked to do and I just can't say what the future brings. But I made some
changes myself as you can see at foto.peter-popp.de (gallery with lytebox,
RSS-Feed at the left). What's missing in these things is to compleate
relationated admin-functions and integrate it in deliverable Versions. But
I for my part never missed things like sub-pages or blog...

What's my opinion: Too much new features in Pluck will bring it - possibly -
to a point, where it will loose the advantage of beeing small and simple and
easy to use. Steadily continuing this way would be my option - pluck does
not have to die only because there are no great changes (take it like a
plant - it will last a long time, even when it has reached it's final size).

Happy New Year to all!

Peter Popp
