in reply to Everything2 github repository and being of value to perlmonks

Thanks, JayBonci! That all sounds great. I am very positively disposed toward such ideas, at least in the abstract. But I do have concerns that our architectures may have diverged substantially enough that "porting" all that nouveau coolness to here would be very far from trivial. I'd love to be shown that my worries are unfounded!

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

    I'm not so sure that we're way far off. Currently, the big piece of our tech looks like:
    • Getting nodes into and out of git as slimmed down XML
    • being able to "bootstrap" an ecore site (such as perlmonks or E2) based out of github, so that multiple developers can work on the engine instead of patching the nodes in the database
    If the underlying libraries are in source control anywhere, then we can see if there's anything that needs to be done to bring them together. I'd be happy to set up my github project so that perlmonks can submodule the tools section.

    I don't know how much unification work it's going to take to port it, but if it's doable, it's certainly worth the gains in performance. Our compiled mode alone does wonders for performance on the dev branch.
