[REBOL] Re: business object definitions
From: media:quazart at: 5-Oct-2001 10:18
I've been advocating having a Library (NOT sources, but function libraries)
and object site for a while. I am just about to start (finally) coding such
a project!
I am still looking for a web host (with rebol cgi), but Am about to start
work on xwire... so It will be working internally for until then.
The project is not completely defined, I'm listening to this list for the
ideas all the time.
The only Cemented thing so far is that people will be able to reserve and
register a prefix to use on function libraries. this will permit everyone
to code SAFELY. Anyone using his prefix will allow any other user to code
using his stuff without problems. this is especially usefull when working
on utilities... imagine if everyone has different tools for printing and
they start calling them "aprint" "zprint" or whatever... you quickly run
into problems.
Once a poster has registered his prefix (which is a public list), he can
post his stuff right away and handle the versioning and stuff like that.
I forgot, but another thing which will be mandatory is that a document of
whatever type is supplied with the tools. The upload will specify if its
extensive or short, but some amout of documentation is necessary. I've
noted that code without documentation isn't very popular... so there is no
point in sharing it if its going to deaf ears...
I have had some good feedback so far, anyone wishing to help is welcomed,
although at this point it is still in the form of ideas and comments.
Please send ANY comments to [moliad--hotmail--com].
The other point of note is that I wish to use this list as the point of
sharing for the tools. One or two mails a week to let the community in on
what is happening on the shared site.
