And, it was proposed to make it a showcase for GSWeb (http:// wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Creating_A_Simple_GSWeb_Application). Since I have nil experience with the latter, I would propose to discuss what we need to do to transform the html/php/mysql code&datafrom SWI into a GSWeb app. And, how to install it on the www.gnustep.orgserver. ... So what do you think what (now whom) we need to do to achieve this target?I have some time to spend on this task. I had have some experience with GSWeb until I switched to SOPE. It could be curiously to check the state of GSWeb in a working application at least for me ;-). Appropriate functionality can be achievedin 3-4 week (I believe :-)).That is less than I had expected!
Well, WebObjects (or in our case GNUstepWeb) is an RAD (rapid application development) environment. But sadly it has often been underestimated and/or misunderstood.
here's an short introduction: http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/ Creating_A_Simple_GSWeb_Application
and here: http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/GSWComponentOtherwise this might help (it's for Apple's WO and it's in Java but the concepts matter):
http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/ WebObjects/Web_Applications/Introduction.html http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/referencelibrary/ GettingStarted/GS_WebObjects/index.html http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/ DeveloperTools/Conceptual/WOTutorial/DatabaseApplication/ DatabaseApplication.html
some WO-Community wiki is here: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Home
I don't see about www.gnustep.org clear yet because I know nothing about it.Well, this is mirrored from a machine called cvs.savannah.gnu.org. There, we have a CVS for the web code that is copied every hour to the production server. And, we have a MySQL database for the data.I think you can get the current source code throughcvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/gnustep co gnustepor easier throughhttp://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/ gnustep/softwareindex/?root=gnustep
Is this really still CVS (not SVN)?
What I think we should start with the data model. Currently, we have these tables:<gnustep.sql>I think most parts are self-explaning when one goes through the Web forms of the current Soctware Index.Screenshots are not stored as BLOBs but in files on the server. And, we never store binaries but only links to sources and homepages.Anyway I would be glad to help in such a way.That will be a good start and if others jump in, it may become reality..
I am also somewhat experienced WebObjects developer (this is part of my day job, although using WO 5.something which is Java)
