[Pangloss] status update 09/05/2003

[Steve Purkis]

Hi all,

Here's this week's update:  I've got the Language editor working and 
tied it in with the User editor.  I've also taken the time to refactor 
the 'proof of concept' server, moving chunks of code out into tested 
segments.  And I've come up with a generic form of pipeline 
configuration files (using YAML) which will be released on CPAN if all 
goes well.

After suffering from some delays, John started looking over the 
templates yesterday.  I imagine he'll be coming up to speed on Petal 
over the next few days, and then get started on making things look 
presentable :).

My main goals for next week are to get the other editors working (Term, 
Concept, Category).  With those in place, there should be a solid base 
for building the search filters that will drive the glossary pages.

I'm off flat-hunting again today.  I will try to make the files 
available for download later on, but if I get back too late I'll do it 
sometime over the weekend.  I'd also like to set up a Pangloss staging 
server so you don't have to install things to see how the project is 
progressing.
