Hi Dancers, Why don't we extend the example app dancr to a WordPress-for-Perl-Hackers?. Last time I looked sukria.org it seemed to be made with Wordpress. Same for other perl sites (e.g. rakudo.org?). We could start a project to rebuild sukria.org with Dancer. I have the impression that most of the functionality is already available as Dancer Plugin or one of the sites we already build with Dancer. What we need is just a project to bring the best of it together. Built on dancer, modularized, leight-weight, easy to install, dancer quality. I am probably underestimating the effort, a little as usual. Why should we do this? Because like this we could attract a few more perl hackers to the team. Imagine what we could do with five SawyerXs. I think every time you did something like the advent calander it brought us a few new people. Since you are always 3 steps ahead of me this is probably not a new idea. Does this project already exist? Is now the time for it? maurice PS: I was thinking of a nice name that alludes to Dancer. Like Salsero. PPS: I hope you allow me to say "we".

I'd love to see a decent Dancer-powered blogging engine. I've considered trying to write one, but just don't have a sufficient supply of tuits at present. I too use Wordpress for my personal blog, just because, albeit written in PHP, it works, well, and templates & plugins are easily available; otherwise, I'd spend my time writing a blogging engine, and not actually blogging. However, I'd be happy to collaborate on a Dancer-powered blogging engine, should others also all be up for it. I don't know how much time I'll have to spare for a while, though. I'm not getting massive amounts of time for personal coding lately, and I've a queue of plans for Dancer::Plugin::Database and D::P::SimpleCRUD to get through - I'd do what I could, though :)

That's quite catchy :)
