Hi, I have start hacking Dancer2 project.

I have multiple question :

- I know people are busy, but how long take a patch to be merge after
2 validations and 3 weeks still waiting ? I'm waiting to see if the
project is still active to add futher patches.

It is active.

Assuming you mean PR 132 (using XS versions of a couple of modules for

a slight speed improvement), I would have merged it a lot quicker were

it adding new useful features or fixing a troublesome bug, but as it's

simply a minor performance improvement, I haven't felt the need to give

up too much time to review it yet. I also would have merged it a lot

sooner if it would merge cleanly through GitHub, but it looks like it's

going to conflict.

- I want to update my Dancer::Plugins::Redis, but I'm a little bit
lost on the right way to do it. How to be compatible with v1 and v2 ?

See any of the modules which have already been updated - there's only a

few minor changes usually, activated by checking dancer_version (which

is another discussion).

- Is they an equivalent website as perldancer.org for perldancer2 ?

It's the same project, so will have the same website (it'll be updated

when the first stable release of Dancer2 is made, I'm sure).

- I have start writing App::Dancer2 (already push on cpan), based on
the Dancer2 mainline git repository example. Is they a doc somewhere
to do stuff more complicated ?

What kind of "stuff"?

- is they a list of Dancer2 already patched module ?

I don't think there's a definitive list yet - if you try loading a

plugin that hasn't been updated to support Dancer2, though, Dancer2

will tell you.

I think a website like " https://www.djangoproject.com/" or "
http://rubyonrails.org/" or "http://perldancer.org" could be great to
speed up the passage from v1 to v2. Having a good tutorial to start a
Dancer2 project, and to create some awesome Dancer2::Plugins is
essential. A place where all of this can be found.

Any contributions would be very welcome. I'm not entirely sure of the

relevance of Django or RoR, unless you mean there are parts of their

website you think are good and could be used as inspiration - if so,

feel free to point at those parts :)

What do you think ?

I was thinking of a kind of wordpress website (like mine :)
http://blog.celogeek.com ) to push our discover, our tutorial ... Any
contributor could push their discover.

I've been mulling the idea of a project blog a few times - might be

worth consideration.

That remains me of the Dancer blog, which we started months ( years ? ) ago. It should be still active, it's using the github pages feature, so creating a new blog post is as simple as committing and pushing.

Maybe it would be useful to resurrect it and use it as a follow up of the advent calendar: people can provide article, volunteers can write up weekly newsletters and so on. It's only limited by the amount o volunteers :)

Proper tutorial stuff, though, I think should be written up as POD

(Dancer::Tutorial, Dancer::Tutorial::*) and shipped with Dancer itself.

Something :

Starting a new Dancer2 project

We should have a bootstrapping script ready to go, so that will be

pretty simple, but of course usage of that script should be documented

in the basic tutorial.

Starting a new Dancer2 Plugins

Indeed, a guide to writing plugins could be valuable. It should be

pretty simple though, so could just be a section in the docs for

Dancer::Plugin (with references to it within the tutorial, etc).

How to upgrade your Dancer1 plugins to be compatible with Dancer2

Yeah, a guide on that would be good; I think there's already some

content around for that.

How to create a Dancer1 / Dancer2 plugin

That should be merged with the "Starting a new Dancer2 plugin" above, I

think.

Hacking Dancer2, how to post your patches

That'll be Dancer::Development when it's ported to D2.

Our IRC

That's already featured on the website and in documentation etc.

If anyone is interested, I can work on it and take the
perldancer2.org domains if needs.

Thanks for the offer but we're fine for hosting and site infrastructure

- contributions towards the documentation as discussed above would be

very gratefully received though!

Cheers!
