- Hello there.
-
- As you can probably guess, I don't do web development often (or at all,
- really). My experience lies almost completely in scripting languages like
- Python, a little C++ and Java, some PHP, and a handful of other things, but I
- tend to stick with Python almost entirely (it's just so awesome!). Designing
- actual webpages (aside from coding the logic behind them – that's another
- story) is kinda foreign to me.
-
- I'm hoping to come up with a decent HTML/CSS design here over time, and
- eventually use the code in the rewrite of my
- [Toolserver](http://toolserver.org/~earwig) site. That desperately needs to be
- updated. Half of the "tools" don't even work!
-
- Either way, the Toolserver site rewrite (which will eventually be a GitHub
- repo) will go hand-in-hand with the EarwigBot rewrite that has been underway
- since April. I'm thinking that there will be a main repository –
- something like `earwig/toolserver-public` – that will essentially be
- everything inside the `public_html` folder. That will contain docs about
- EarwigBot and my various (new) tools, the main `index.(html|php)` file, and the
- CSS/image crud. Individual tools, which consist of code and web UI, will be
- their own repos (think `earwig/toolserver-copyvio-intersect`) which will be git
- submodules in the main `toolserver-public` repo. I think this could work.
-
- Right now, I have to finish up EarwigBot's `feature/config-rewrite` branch,
- merge that into develop, and get the live version of EarwigBot's config files
- updated. Once that's settled, the bot's backbone is essentially complete
- (finally!) The only remaining tasks are to start working on the actual wiki API
- interface, and when that's done, the bot tasks themselves. Easily a summer of
- work, but when it's complete, EarwigBot should be mostly finished, and up to at
- least version 1.0!
