Last week Paige and I started designing the Yard parser website. The Yard parser is a small part of a personal project of mine. Well, a small part of Heron, which itself is a project that Christopher Diggins started. My project is making Heron work on Linux.

So, anyhow, while the Yard parser's website is still in its infancy, it is up and running. This is the first time Paige and I have worked together on a website, and the first time I've written a decent database-driven site. I'll be adding more articles to the database, and a few more scripts. I'm also working on some new features, one graphic (Paige's idea) and one stet-based (stet is what makes the GPL v 3 commenting process work).

Because the site is hosted on Sourceforge, however, I don't have complete freedom in what libraries I get to use, or which Perl modules are available. Overall, though, it's been a fun project.

Were you able to get stet working? I can't seem to configure everything correctly to get it working. If you have any advice, and could spare a moment of free time to help me out, please email me at joshuagay@gmail.com

Many thanks,

I've only started looking at stet, and I haven't got it working yet. Although, to be honest, I think I'll be less stet-based than I first expected. I'll be using CGI::Ajax to replace some of the Javascript in there, because I'd prefer to stay in Perl as much as possible.

I'll probably use enough of stet's stylesheets and whatever that I'll still consider the final product stet-based, but it looks like it'll take more of my own work to get it running.
