VAStGoodies.com updated
VAStGoodies.com has been updated. All the bugs that crept in over the last 3 years have been fixed. Other (minor) improvements have been made as well. Here are the highlights:
- Moved to a faster server.
- Enhanced caching mechanism ensures better responsiveness. Internally, there is an extra layer of objects on top of the ENVY concepts now.
- The projects page is back!
- There is a tags page.
- Performance and minor fixes and tweaks at statistics page page.
- Added horizontal rule (_) to wiki syntax.
As before, annotation tags from the most recent version of a configuration map are used to generate the project pages. In case you are not too happy how your projects appear, you might want to upload a new version with adjusted tags.
One as side note, please avoid uploading maps containing deployable code and development code. It's is better to split it over two (or more) maps and use a single project tag to link them together at the projects pages and in the statistics.
Official VAStGoodies.com discussion thread
I have just created an 'official' discussion thread for VAStGoodies.com at the Google VA Smalltalk group:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/va-smalltalk/dQOEU8PPhcc/discussion.
We used to have a thread at the old forum. I think we should have one at the current discussion platform too.
Please use this thread to discuss about VAStGoodies.com, including bug reports, feature requests, etc.
