[Bese-devel] just some non-technical thoughts about the UCW

[Denys Rtveliashvili]

Hi,



I did not have a chance to track what's happening with the UnCommon Web 
for a long time. And I am pleased to see that the community is alive and 
the framework is still being developed.

There is no doubt that the idea behind it is great as well as the 
framework's potential. I would gladly contribute somehow, but my LISP 
skills are extremely low. I guess there are some things I can do which 
could be useful. Anyway, I'd like to know your opinion first.



Idea#1:
--------
UnCommon Web's website and examples appearance can be improved. For 
instance, if you take a look at the Ruby On Rails or Django websites, 
you will see that they have a great design and it is easy to see some of 
the frameworks' features without even installing them on the own computer.

http://www.rubyonrails.org/
http://www.djangoproject.com/

Do you think it has sense to work on the design to make it more 
attractive? I know, it's all bells and whistles but it improves the 
general feeling about the project.

By the way, are there any logos for the UnCommon Web or one should be 
created?

Idea#2:
--------
The UnCommon Web's website looks like a number of static pages. Perhaps 
there is a good reason for it. Anyway.. What if the site is re-made to 
use the UnCommon Web framework? Of course, that would impose some 
restrictions on hosting but as a result, there will be no silent 
questions like "if it is so great, why it is not used for the project's 
own site?"

Another good point here is that the project's website would be able to 
show the features of the framework and allow to play with it. In 
addition to this, it would be easy to see if something is broken in the 
latest build and give some experience in supporting a real-life application.

Idea#3:
--------
It seems to me that having a WIKI may be beneficial for the project. It 
would be possible to outline the latest features / issues there and have 
an overview of what the framework's state at the moment. Maybe that's 
not very important for core developers but the rest of the community 
might find it useful. And of course, it would be great if the WIKI is 
implemented with the UnCommon Web. :-)

With best regards,
