Semester's almost over and I should be thinking about studying for finals and finishing up various projects — so, naturally I've been hacking on frivolous code; in this case, vcki-dev. The latest addition: settings (so far just password customization).

Check out the History aspect again. Now there's a “Show” link for each page version that shows what that version looked like. Soon I'll add an “Edit” link, which will load up an editing form pre-loaded with the content of a specific version of the page — useful if you want to ‘undo’ a swath of past edits.

Check it out, History aspect :)

Well, I nixed the whole .data.xml thing once I realized that XML is a terrible way to go for the stuff we want to have in the repo, as XML generally doesn't play well with version control (think about it...). So, naturally, I've switched gears to getting the revision control stuff actually working — i.e. online edits are now accompanied by commits to the repo for the file being edited. Cool, non?
On deck next is adding a "History" action to that ubiquitous action bar where you'll be able to see all the revisions back to the dawn of time of any given page. Complicit in that is integrating a ?rev=# to the show and edit aspects to really make the whole history thing tangible.
Stay posted...
(Like so many development posts on so many half-baked web-publishing apps, I can't help but feel like I'm talking to myself. It's likely that no one else will ever read this...but if you're not me and you're reading this, I'd get a kick out of it if you'd give me a shout telling me so. It'll make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and I'll probably like you more than I already do.)

vcki-dev branched off for some mild re-factoring (i.e. migrating from the old .payload text-file style to the new .data.xml well-formed-data style).
So far, so good.
