Kupu mentioned in ONLamp Congrats to the Kupu team for the article in ONLamp. O'Reilly has had it as the featured article on the front page for some time. The congratulations mainly goes to Guido Wesdorp at Infrae for doing most of the work on the core, the releases, and managing the project. Guido was the one mostly responsible, with Kit Blake, for getting Kupu to reach out to other OSCOM projects for the integration. However, to clear something up, my contributions weren't nearly as much as Duncan Booth, now working at Oxfam Great Britain. After Philipp did the initial Plone integration, Duncan took over and did a tremendous amount of very, very high quality work. The configlet for the Plone control panel is the best for any Plone add-in that I've seen. Duncan also did the zoom mode, rewrote my browser-side Word->XHTML cleanup, a link repair approach for content types, ongoing bug fixing, and more. Plus he answered every question on the list. I'd also like to point out that Kupu (in the drawers) gains a lot from Sarissa, a cross-browser JS lib for XML/XSLT done by Emmanouil Batsis. He wrote a nice O'Reilly article on the library. Meanwhile, I still need to return to the de-tablification work on the drawers. As preparation for this, I did a series of tutorials with a README that describes 10 steps in making a browser-based XML/XSLT app. (Note: the last two steps don't work in IE, due to a small little bug, but 1-8 work in IE/Moz/Safari 1.3 and the last two in Moz.) I think I might convert this series into an ONLamp.com piece One Of The Daystm. The series of tutorials tries to convey a method of building dynamic UIs, a method that focuses on very high productivity...namely, by eliminating the server until the end. 5:19:31 AM   comment []
