How to proceed with a version 2?

[MattDrivenDev]

Have a conversation with people that have used it, tried it etc.

• Clean code
• Add better error handling and error notification
• Add yaml header support for headers
• Add option of another tempting language e.g. jade
• Increase performance, seems rather slow for 15 blog entries

[MattDrivenDev]

All of those things! 👍

Im having severe problems with razor, the speed is really slow and there are lots of places to slip up. Ive had issues with literals in my code blocks @"" , escaped strings etc. Painful :-( .

[7sharp9]

A single blog post generated a csharp file 5000 lines long!! Razor doesn't seem so sharp ...

This is not directly related but how about combining efforts with https://github.com/bentayloruk/cantos and https://github.com/aktowns/tilde? It seems like both those projects haven't been updated in a while but maybe they would be interested in contributing here instead. Thoughts?

Including @bentayloruk and @aktowns for their feedback.

[7sharp9]

What's the status here now? Can you build and run everything on mono ok?

@BetterDotNetter I hacked up Cantos to build my business site and it is doing that job OK at the moment (hence the zero updates). I've been considering doing some blogging (again) and if I do, I will certainly look at joining in with fsblog and perhaps cleaning up and porting some features from Cantos.

Just for the record, I hacked together a dirty script that can process the subset of Jekyll used at the fsharp.org web site: https://github.com/tpetricek/fsharp.github.com/blob/master/build.fsx (Simply because it was easier than installing and using Jekyll on Windows :-))

It would be great to have a simpler alternative to Razor (as well as generally improve other aspects of FsBlog :-)). It currently kind of works, but it is rough around the edges.

It doesn't currently work at all on mono until fsharp.configuration is bumped and the script is made x-plat

Hi All,

I tried making a proposal in the F# Google Group to see if there is any interest in a group effort to work on FsBlog (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fsharp-opensource/JpT7AANLhPU). I didn't get any responses but I wanted to see what you guys have planned. It looks like there haven't been many updates to the project recently but is there still any interest in doing a v2? If so, what are the goals?

[7sharp9]

I kind of gave up as it was too problematic unless you were using windows (which I wasn't ). Unless it worked out of the box with mono and had a default usable blog template, I thought I may as well use Octopress or Jekyll as it's easier. They are my thoughts :-)

I agree with @7sharp9 that FsBlog currently is not easy to use out-of-the-box and the Mono compatibility is a big work item. That's why it needs some more contributors :-).

The mono compatibility issue is logged here: fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting#188 and the plan is to replace Razor in F# Formatting with more usable DotLiquid.

The other task is to make sure that everything works out of the box and there are decent docs on how to setup and customize your FsBlog..
