texte = Dear fellow customer, Following a change in WSC management, we are again moving forward. Our = targets this year include: - redesign the website to be modern and available to smartphone users - include the 70,000+ talk list history emails in the website - redesign and simplify store.webdna.us We have a small budget for this and those of you who have ideas or are = interested in working on it, please contact us at development@webdna.us We will also - fix some rare bugs - add JSON object support, to parse and store multidimensional JSON = objects into a WebDNA flat database. Thanks to Patrick McCormick to make = us more sensitive about the increasing presence of JSON in the web = environment: JSON is the format that javascript uses to get and return = information between browser and server. The server store and delivers = data that javascript handles and formats on the browser side. Modern = browsers now include powerful javascript engines. To quote Patrick: "Numerous tools including Angular.js, Backbone.js, = Underscore.js, Ember.js and more have all seen a recent explosion = because they provide model-view-controll style structure to the = JavaScript code written for this new style of website. On top of those = are hundreds of libraries and frameworks to simplify the process of = building JavaScript centric websites. WebDNA is not only a much better = language [to deal with javascript], but it eliminates dealing with SQL = as well.=94 - build a new eCommerce system to replace the current one. We should = receive support from an external investor, and the new store will become = a licensed commercial product. The new eCommerce will make heavy use of = JSON and javascript. There will be a bidding to find the designers. You = can already contact us at development@webdna.us if you are interested. - build either (or both) a repository version of WebDNA fastCGI that = will be available with just an =93apt-get install webdna=94 and (or) = provide a packaged version of =93WebDNA + lighttpd=94 or =93WebDNA + = nginx=94 to be easily installed for the most widely used linux versions = (Ubuntu/CentOS and maybe Debian/RH). Ideally, with just an unzip and = some permission set up, it should be ready to start. The future = eCommerce system will be installed the same way on any linux server, the = choice of simplicity should attract new customers. - build support for MySQL into a specific fastCGI version. Due to = licensing restrictions, this implies to use external libraries that = makes installation slightly more complicated. At this time, MySQL is = only available to the module version. - change the licensing system for the apache module version, using the = current webdna.fcgi system: certificates will be sold =93by the = website=94. This will unify the WebDNA product price and greatly = simplify the current price grid. - build support for apache 2.4 with the module version - we plan to support the 64bit OS versions (Ubuntu, CentOS and OSX) and = slowly leave the 32bit version behind. - we plan to support Windows again with a WebDNA fastCGI version. This = might take up to two more years, unless we get additional funding and = beta testers. We wanted to integrate a powerful database administrator into the WebDNA = administration, but our current budget will probably not allow this = before some time. If you have requests, needs or ideas that you would like to share, you = can either do it publicly on the talk-list or contact us at = development@webdna.us All this needs a considerable financial effort and any help of any kind = will be greatly appreciated. sincerely, - christophe
