[Mono-list] Monodoc online editor/browser

[Ben Joldersma]

Mandel,

We've talked about doing that.   I was just thinking about hooking the xml
file save events to an svn commit.  That takes care of 80% or so of the
logic.  Another demo we want to put together for emergetk is an SVN brower,
so as you can see that would integrate nicely with the documentation in more
ways than one (see the documentation revision history, but also view the
source code for the given class /method / property/ etc.)  I'll look into
this in the next week or three.

Best of luck in your CMS venture.  I've worked with content management
systems pretty extensively.  I'd love to see emergetk involved in a CMS.
However, one of it's pain points, for now and likely the forseeable future,
is that it's highly dynamic and tightly coupled to the server.  This is good
for rapid development, and for creating RIAs (esp. where you have sensitive
algorithms), but not so good for long term, persisted HTML pages.  But, I'd
be happy to talk, and see if there is some role emergetk could play.

We have an O/R mapper also in EmergeTk.  I would never venture to say it's
anything as sophisticated as NHibernate, or Gentle.net.  It's fun to roll
your own, and the benefit of having it play so nicely with the rest of your
code in some ways outweighs the need for a more mature solution.  That said,
I would LOVE to support something like nhibernate in EmergeTk.  Just don't
have the resources right now!

best,

--ben
