Infonomix

I made some changes to the architecture of the Infonomix website today and realized its been way too long since I've made any content updates.

Fear not! I'm still committed to Infonomix as an open source project management tool!

I've been sidetracked from several open source projects due to an increase in consulting work, as well as a new scripting language and development framework: Ruby and Sinatra!

XML and XSLT

Since Infonomix has a ton of XML and XSLT in it, it should be fairly simple to port it over to Sinatra. I've started to do so with another web application: YoDNSConf.

Git

Infonomix has used Subversion as its source code revision system, but I plan to switch to Git via github.com soon. Its awesome!

Infonomix has been dormant a bit since the spin off of Nextoclock, and the refocus to only project management.

Behind the scenes I've been doing a lot of planning for Infonomix, and as a hint, the new direction is towards public access and open publishing. Infonomix will ultimately include a publishing platform for project management information!

After trying out Hermes to compare with Nextoclock, I decided to try Chora, the web based repository browser from Horde, and it is just as nice. Its easy to install on debian, so that's a big bonus. I had one gotcha - the default sourceroots.php file includes some examples, but they don't work out of the box (ie * Error SourceRoot not found! ). I created a local repository and it worked fine. :-)

Now... can Infonomix and Chora play nicely together?

I haven't forgotten about Infonomix, but I've been working a lot on Nextoclock lately. Its was split off from Infonomix, and both are coming along nicely.2009 will be a quality year for Nextoclock.

Its been awhile since I've done any work on Infonomix, but I'll be back at it soon. I still need to clarify the separation of time tracking and project management, which is the last thing I worked on here.

I'm still using an old version of Infonomix everyday in my work, and I'm hoping to upgrade it to the latest version soon, but there is still a bunch of work to do. Thanks for your patience and continued interest!
