Hi, just a feedback on the new web site design. The head part is very wide (the horizontal slider appeared in Safari, I had to enlarge the browser's window to include the whole page horizontally), but the main section below is quite slim the two tiny sub-windows with the Dancer example wrap the text inside. I would restrict the head part and enlarge the main one. Just my 2c, Flavio. On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 5:00 PM, Alexis Sukrieh <sukria@sukria.net> wrote:
Hi fellow dancers!
We've met with Franck yesterday evening in order to speak about Dancer and for trying to make some decisions regarding our development and maintenance process.
We decided the following:
* Our priority is to release Dancer 1.2, which will be the next stable release on CPAN.
* The code is frozen until Dancer 1.2 is released: the only commits/pull requests that are accepted until then are :
- a commit that fixes bug - a commit that fixes a test script failure - a commit that fixes a documentation issue
* Targets for Dancer 1.2
These are the key blocker points we identified for 1.2:
- Dancer::Headers is rewritten to be based on HTTP::Headers all along the way (the current implementation is a weak point, identified by Franck)
- Deployment under Apache with CGI/FCGI and mod_perl should go smoothly when following the documentation given in Dancer::Deployment (this is a common problem regarding the mailing list archives and we want to fix that).
- The new website design is shipped (we received a *huge* proposal and every core developer agreed on the fact this design rocks _a lot_. Check this draft out: http://cl.ly/72278b35886dda8878b3
By the way, a big thank to everyone who submitted a redesign proposal, they were all looking great, but this one took our vote, because it's really unique-looking and ... cool :)
=== [ What you can do to help us ] ===
* Testing
We really want Dancer 1.2 to be rock solid. We welcome very much reports about deployment issues, so feel free to contact us if you have any problem with 1.1811
* Documentation reviews
Even if we did enhance a lot our documentation lately, typos and errors still occur, so feel free to review Dancer::Deployment, Dancer::Cookbook and Dancer::Tutorial. Pull requests are welcome for documentation fixes.
* Spread the word
Dancer is lucky enough to have lots of enthusisast users and we're very proud of that. If you like Dancer, spread the word :) blog, tweet, talk to your friends and coworkers. Show off some demo apps at work. This is good marketing and it's quite as important as the code itself.
I'll try to write a mail to the list whenever we did some significant progress regarding the 1.2 release, so stay tuned!
PS: no, there is no date scheduled yet for the release, don't ask ;)
