Yeah, that’s it ... web 2.0 lolo W2 is easier to write.
I just the above ruby and basecamp as examples of projects that have hit web hard.
Now, that is the kind of impact we need to find within ourselves.
As for W2 ahem Web 2.0 ...it’s just have been an idea that has been brewiing for the past 2 years inside of me. Since Ryan has so kindly kept me along oon his adventures I thought that I’d give back as much as possible in any of his adventures.
I really always do enjoy the ride
*) plug and play -- possibly could use a fill in the blank type of beginner site. Have about 3-5 pages of content (top, contact page, about us, and 2 filler pages) then let the beginners start off with vanilla folder sites. Sure we’d have a rash of A looks like B, C, D, E, ect ... However as horrid that may sound I’ve seen virtually 50 osc sites that look almost the same except for some color changes. And several blogs with that huge blue header at the top. Yes, yes, I know what you’re going to say. It’s retchid and what not, while I look at those sites and say, dammmm, osc is really being used (vomit, on the design though). But the point remains ... osc is being used. Anybody, see where I’m getting at?
It’s game time
1) semi beginner level, by now the kiddies will have learned how to edit their pages and move things around a bit. Offer, easy to install templates and simple plugins. And I do mean easy. ONE CLICK type here, no flip flopping around tabs and doing this nor that.
2) by now, the natives have grown restless or have appeased themselves with their very own personalized site. The young and the restless will hopefully have learned how to set a template per page and few of the more "coder" basic understandings.
3) anybody that has passed this stage is probably ready now to set up a menu manager or something else as difficult with the help of the forums.
4.) playing with the big boys
anybody who has bothered to come this far knows what they want are more than willing to dig through the forums for answers and have the path ahead of them to turn even more geeky or just kick back with a beer and enjoying the fact that they’ve done one hell of a job.
5.) and up -- people who know what phpinfo ( ) does 8D
hmmm, at the moment I’m very inclined towards full out supporting the level 1 folks who will more than likely flooded the net with the MODx look
Least not forget meeting everybody at the general meeting at this coming year’s snow festival in Sapporo
(1st week of February -- very nicely built snow statues the size of houses) After which I’ll take you out for a beer at the Sapporo Beer Factory
My wife will kill me but I’ll pay for at least the 1st round of Sapporo Beers for the first 20 to arrive on time
On top of that I’ll show the ladies to the pretty boys clubs (men bend over backwards to serve the ladies -- yes, you may and ARE expected to force these lads to drink pints upon pints of whatever -- errr sorry I don’t pay for that
) Guys, don’t worry ... I’ll get you in trouble enough
Now, that’s what I call service !
MODX Staff
) : maybe organize some kind of contest ? TBD
