rubead

August 08, 2005

OSCON 2005, especially the lucky stiff, inspired me to start working on a project in Ruby. The project is not exactly a surprise.    (PTU)

rubead is a start at implementing a nodal style data store for a PurpleWiki style wiki. This is a lot like NodaryPublic. In rubead every block (bead) gets a PurpleNumber and sub-documents can be composed from any position in the parse tree allowing more complex and effective TransClusion than implemented in Purplewiki and Kwiki-Purple. Should end up with something that's a bridge between a standard document oriented wiki and TiddlyWiki.    (PTV)

Not much done thus far, but Ruby has made it pretty easy so far. Next step: throw in some WEBrick for display and improve the parse tree creation.    (PTW)

Code soon.    (PTX)
