Stable APIs.

  • On my agenda, is upgrades of Geeklog, Gallery and IMP. Geeklog is the web log system that powers enfusion-group.com, Gallery is the photo gallery application that serves up our photos, and IMP provides webmail.
  • There's something to be said for a stable application programming interface. Actually, in this case, it's not only the API that's changed, but also the templating system, various configuration variables, and the fact that database table structures change, don't get properly documented, and then break functionality. I spent about 3 hours tonight preparing to upgrade our production system from Geeklog 1.3.3 to 1.3.5sr1. All I got through was theme conversion, and I'm not done.
  • Hopefully Gallery and IMP are more easily upgraded.
