Nikola Plans
English only!
I have not stopped working on Nikola, my static site generator. Here are the plans:
Finish the theme installer (so you can get a theme from the site easily)
Implement a theme gallery on the site (same purpose)
Fix a couple of bugs
Update manual
Polish a few theme bits
Release version 3.x (new major number because it requires manual migration)
After that, I will push on projects Shoreham (hosted sites) and Smiljan (planet generator) and make them more public. Shoreham will become a real web app for those who don't want to have their own server. For free, hopefully!
Once I have that, I have no further feature ideas, really. So I need more people to start using it, and that means I have to start announcing it more.
So, stay tuned for version 3.x sometime next week.
Post-Nikola, I will do a rst2pdf release, and then will get back to work on a book.
Shoreham was Alva or am I lost?
Shoreham is "upload stuf via Ubuntu One, it appears", Alva is "edit via a website, it appears". Complementary stuff :-)
I will replace my Wordpress install with RST based. Actually I had asked about something like Nikola before, and it didn't seem to really exist at the time. I was so happy when you announced it.
Obviously, the thing that makes me wonder, is how to migrate. I am probably going to make a hard cut though, and simply
do it the "easy" way, converting old posts to rst manually. It's not _that_ much, and for my changelog, the release announcements of
my Python compiler, it's already done.
I am just too much in love with RST. The "rst2pdf" of yours did that to me. And Nikola even more.
Only drawback I see, I am clearly going to miss the comments owned by myself. I will checkout Disqus, but I was e.g. proud to not
host "Like" buttons so far.
Yours,
Kay
If you have the posts as HTML, then you can just indent them and stick a ".. raw:: html" in the first line (or I can do a html "compiler" that just copies stuff).
I think you cna disable the "like" buttons in disqus, and the ones in the template are easy to remove (they are just in base.tmpl)
Ah ok, I misunderstood that the Disqus comments brought those with them, if that's not the case, yeah, easy enough. :-)
Kay, I migrate my old Wordpress blog to Nikola (http://jose.rebeldes.org.ar/), and for that I wrote this script: https://github.com/Abuelode...
For the comments I saw that disqus let you import Wordpress comments.
That's great, thank you for the pointer. The script is shockingly short. But even more welcome.
There is also https://github.com/quodlibe... from Brandon Meister
Ah, I see, Nikola is even a known output format. I am btw also annoyed by JavaScript driven syntax highlighting, and want to get rid of it. That seems to cut it quite fine.
Which branch do you recommend me to use? I wouldn't be shy to contribute minor improvements, but I didn't get which branch is what. So I am currently using "master" out of lack of documentation.
In nikola I would use master. In quodlibetor's code, I would ask him :-)
