Memorial Day Shoes Madness!

2012-05-29 15:24

Memorial Day Weekend 2012 was a big one for the Shoes community! Here's a taste of what was discussed, decided, and built over this one 3-day weekend. (Don't you people take a holiday?!)

• Christened "Shoes4" as a fork of shoes/brown_shoes. This is the TDD/Test-First re-design of the Shoes Insoles (internals). ** Shoes "backends" will be composition-oriented under Shoes namespace, so Shoes::Swt is the first framework.
• Startup issues fixed for OSX/Linux
• Bundler gemspec configuration
• TravisCI integration configured
• Much MUCH discussion around Namespaces and Mixin-vs-Composition

I am personally really exited about the commitment and effort put forth on this "holiday" weekend. I was truly stunned to read my Inbox on Sunday Afternoon and find about a dozen discussion emails to read-through. Awesome!

Shoes4 has a great start. Thanks to the team for your continued interest and commitment to bring us towards a new pair of Shoes.
