March 2010 Meetup - Thursday @ 6:00pm
Will Bridges
what's on the agenda - please add if you have anything.
* Code is on github - a plan of attack (I have the facebook plugin
pretty much ready so people can join our site through facebook)
* Design review if we have anything
* Discussion of code if anybody has any code they want to share
* Plugins - Everybody should pick a favorite plugin/gem they use (not
just Rails plugins but anything relevant to Ruby)
Please add anything you guys want to talk about or do. Also, let us
know if you will be able or won't be able to make it!
Thanks,
Will

That said, I have been forcing myself to build an adva cms the *proper* way.
So if nothing else, I will bring a skeleton theme and you can bring the art. :-)

By Thursday I will have three complete websites built. One in Radiant.
One in Adva and one in BrowserCMS.
So far, Adva has been the best at staying out of the programmers way,
but Radiant has been the best CMS.
I have not evaluated Browser yet.
Radiant has a lot more capability than meets the eye:

previously). I'm working on a third website and a second plugin.
There's very little documentation on how to build a plugin in adva so
a lot of what I did was reverse engineering. There's a ton of problems
with mixins not working like I would expect them to. I think maybe it
has something to do with the engines and the way they combine the
files to create one application. Then again, maybe I'm just doing
something wrong (: That's very likely as well.
Still haven't played with Radiant in a while - would love to do that.
Adva has some other quirks - such as displaying lists like articles in
the admin with the newest last instead of the newest first. But I've
been very happy with it so far!

* Tim put together an awesome design -> which I think he's going to
put in to github
* We got the details worked out about what needs to be done to get the
site together (Andrew, you were going to help on some of the coding,
right? Anybody else?)
* We set a goal of getting something preliminary up by the next
meeting.
Here's what I plan on doing:
* As soon as Tim gets the design in github I'm going to work with the
app that's in github now to get the design put in (properly).
* I'm going to get my facebook plugin put in there and setup the site
as a facebook app so it's easy to join (programming already done but I
need to refine the plugin a bit)
* Ask for help in getting the content in and getting some other
plugins created.
Here's what needs to be done:
* Putting the S3 & Caching Changes In To An Engine
* Adva Member Directory Plugin
* Adva Projects Engine
I'm having some issues understanding the mixins with the engines. It
seems if I define a model that's already defined in another engine it
overwrites that model instead of mixing in the methods. It seems that
maybe the initializers are being used to do this properly in Adva...
but I'm definitely confused about it. Help me if you can!

Alright, so here's what we got accomplished in the March meeting:
* Tim put together an awesome design -> which I think he's going to
put in to github
* We got the details worked out about what needs to be done to get the
site together (Andrew, you were going to help on some of the coding,
right? Anybody else?)
* We set a goal of getting something preliminary up by the next
meeting.
I'll get it to it today.
Tuesday was my birthday and Wednesday I had to be ready to present before the industrial impact sub committee.
