Purple v0.9 #

After RecentChangesCamp earlier this month, I drove up to Seattle to visit ChrisDent and others. Chris and I spent a day talking shop and life, and also taking care of a few things that we've been discussing for a while. The biggie was extracting the PurpleNumber generator from PurpleWiki into its own library and creating a RESTish front-end to it. The result -- Purple v0.9, available on CPAN. (K9N)

Not only will Purple make it easier for folks to incorporate PurpleNumber generation in their own software, it will also enable us to start properly experimenting with distributed PurpleNumbers. Right now, I can transclude content between this blog and my Wiki. With Purple, I'll be able to transclude from Chris's blog and any other sites using these PurpleNumbers (including all of BlueOxenAssociates's collaboratories. (K9O)

It was very cool to get this done, and more is to come. Chris has already started to incorporate it into PurpleWiki, and PaulVisscher has already started to incorporate it into perplog. You can read Chris's commentary and follow more on the ChurchOfPurple's progress at the Purple collaboratory. (K9P)
