Dear Dancers,<br>
<br>
I've evolved a simple CMS for my own purposes, taking some<br>
cues from blosxom, which was my first experience with a web<br>
framework.<br>
<br>
I'm curious if any of you think there would be value<br>
in having a more complete example Dancer app available.<br>
<br>
The current design has these main features.<br>
<br>
* flat file design, no database<br>
* user login<br>
* simple access control based on two text files<br>
+ access: username dir1 dir2 dir3...<br>
+ restricted_dirs: dira dirb dirc...<br>
* Markdown-format pages in $root_dir/pages<br>
* generates directory listings for files in $root_dir/public<br>
<br>
I already created a perl module for the app, which includes<br>
scripts to generate the passwd file and the<br>
directory listings.<br>
<br>
I'd need to do a bit more work to create a generate app dir<br>
with default pages and provide enough documentation to get<br>
started.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if you all think this field is saturated<br>
already, or if it might contribute to Dancer adoption to<br>
have a file-based CMS available as an sample app.<br>
<br>
I think it might help newcomers to Dancer to have a<br>
full-function app because despite generally excellent<br>
documentation, I found it did take me quite a bit of trial<br>
and error to get the necessary bells to ring and the<br>
whistles to blow.<br>
<br>
Perhaps there are other Dancer-based apps that are more<br>
sophisticated or complete, and would be better suited.<br>
<br>
Will appreciate any of your ideas, with my regards,<br>
<br>
Joel Roth<br>
