Wedge

I'm now contemplating what to tackle next, knowing full well that each plugin I'm writing at the moment, I'm almost certainly going to be introducing new hooks each time to support it because of the lack of hooks currently in the system.

Well that's the idea...!

If you don't know what to do next, do you want me to post my personal to-do list that I don't know when I'll be able to tackle? :P

Sure :)

I was deciding between doing some kind of 'related topics' thing or some kind of 'storing post edit history' this evening. The former has some interesting quirks about it that make it a PITA to do, while the latter really depends on having the wesqlQuery stuff in place (though I have no reason not to get that integrated, really)

I'll post a selection of my to do later. Tomorrow maybe.
Related posts would require implementing topic tags first. I'd say.

Well, ideally yes, but there's no reason why it can't be done on topic subjects. The headache is performance, the standard solution is to create a separate table of topic subjects and perform a search on those using a fulltext index or something like Sphinx.

The headache, of course, is that such a table would have to be done manually (it always would, because it must be a MyISAM table with a fulltext index, a setup that will soon be going drastically out of fashion as MySQL 5.5 becomes more and more commonplace) or else some other solution devised.

Need more time to mull over the exact implementation of that one, so maybe will do edit history instead.

I posted the list in the related topic.

Awesome, I've commented on a very limited number for now, there's a lot to take in there!

Do you want the rest of my to-do? :lol:
(Well, anything not related to French fixes or whatever... And minor AeMe tidbits...)

I've done some bits, and will likely tackle some more today. I'm in a funny mood today, can't seem to settle and be in the 'coding place'.

Btw, once I've got a few more plugin-y type things together, I'll do another blog post. It's been almost a month since our last blog post, so probably time to post something else - and we have screenshots we can use :)

I started work on a blog post yesterday but it was cheesy so I dropped it. I hate apologizing for the lack of progress. I'm not paid. We are doing more work than smf. Only thing that makes me feel bad is that nightwish is more active than I am. I wish I'd be as fresh as I was a year ago.

You're allowed to be tired. It's been a long road this last year, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to spend quite as much time on the dev trail as I'd have liked. But I'm able to put the time into it right now, which means likely a flurry of commits as I make the changes I want to make, and then the commits to fix mistakes I make... *whistle*

The other thing is that when we started out, we had a lot of motivation fuelled by anger, and that's tempered a fair bit as they sort of got their act together, but moreso because we've put a lot of it behind us so we're able to see things more objectively now than a year ago.

That's partly why I'm pushing plugins the way I am, it enables me to spend a few hours on something and be able to call it close enough to 'done' to not worry about it. Sure, I'll go back to my plugins in a week or a month or whatever and do more work - but it's something bitesized that doesn't drain my energy too much.

You dd a fantastic job this week. For the first time in months (ever?), you beat me in number of commits, and by far, without me even slowing down my usual pace. I'm also very thankful that you decided to tackle some of my todo list. Ive always known you're a great coder and felt a bit lonely these last few months. It's really good to know I can slow down if I want (because of my very severe burnout) and wedge will still be worked on. Again thanks :)

You're more than welcome :) It *is* about time I pulled my weight, so to speak :lol:

Now, if only we had an awards plugin... maybe that should be my next target, heheh...

Did you peek into my plugin repo? :P lol
