RE: file-based CMS

Hi Greg, Nice to receive a message from you. I know you have been quite actively developing PHPDocumentor, and thank you for your effort. I am not sure exactly what BlueMantis will eventually be. I am working full-time right now, which leaves me little time for my own projects. So far it has been my attempt to make a website system that caters to the web developer as consultant. In other words, it is supposed to be a system that makes it easy to showcase complete code projects (aka 'products'), and also to build libraries of code snippets, examples, and tutorials for people who are learning. Plus, there are the other content things like 'About Us' 'News' etc. And, there are a lot of goals that are driven by my personal tastes. For example, I have a large collection of bookmarks, and feel that there is no other way to deal with bookmarks except to put them online. So, I have added Padraic Renaghan's bookmarker system (http://www.renaghan.com/pcr/bookmarker.html) to my website. Lately, I've been hoping that BlueMantis could develop into THE CMS that supports a 'guild' of free software developers in their quest to both produce free software, collaborate, plus market and sell their services on the web. To achieve such a lofty goal, would require quite a bit of work indeed. For example, the online collaboration would be enabled by a combination of tools (such as OPT for project management-see http://outreach.sourceforge.net/) and technologies (such as CVS). The trick would be to integrate all these tools and systems. Where PHPDocumentor would fit in, is that it would be installed on the 'private' part of the system so that all developers could quickly generate documentation on their projects (and they would have to follow coding standards *grin*). I would like to rewrite all my own code to take advantage of what PHPDocumentor has to offer. As my ambitions grow daily, what I have already accomplished seems less and less important. However, I am hoping to provide 'official' source code and some explanation as to what I am trying to do with BlueMantis shortly. For the moment (because I have not had time to officially sanitize and 'release' the code) you can see the source code here: http://freephile.com/services/index.php (click the link at the top that says 'view source') You can view any file by adding a path to the "showSource" file. For example, I wrote a 'Random Image' class, and you can see the source of that at: http://freephile.com/inc/_showSource.php?contentFile=/inc/_randomImage.php One interesting piece that I've managed to glue into BlueMantis is the visual editor: http://freephile.com/library/whiteboard.php (click the link to 'edit this page') The old, and basic documentation is at http://freephile.com/docs/howto/ NOTICE TO ANYONE VIEWING SOURCE ON MY WEBSITE: PLEASE respect that this is my website. There are no credit cards, or other data that is worth stealing here, only my ideas, and they are all GPL. My database contains log information, and bookmarks, again, there is nothing worth stealing. If you find any possible security holes, I would appreciate your bringing it to my attention so that I can continue to work on my ideas, and share them with other people.
