ironing our pants into the universe

Sux0r's default skin is utilitarian but that doesn't mean it's doomed to ugly stick beatings forever. Last week I used sux0r to build Shie Kasai dot com. I was able to re-skin it in one afternoon. I am also working with a designer from Moldova on some new default sux0r partitions. Promising designs are in the works.

I have added an exception in the README so that files in the 'templates' and 'media' directories can be licensed under simple permissive terms i.e. your pick of any LGPL compatible license instead of the more accosting AGPL. To be clear, this means that you can create templates / HTML / CSS and not share them. We, the sux0r development group, distribute our templates under the AGPL.

All this and more in the next release of sux0r. Of course, CVS is always there for those who want to get their fix.

A bunch of CVS changes fixing several caching issues were checked-in over the weekend. I'm going to keep slugging away at the code while I wait for a few more translation files. If all goes well "2.0 final" should be the next release. If any of the contacts who emailed me about translation are reading, it'd be great to get them before next week.

In non-sux0r related news: I will be attending TikiFest Montreal 2008 next month. I'll be checking out Jerusalem In My Heart and Survival Japanese Cooking at the MAI. And i'll be working on some music for the Renoise 2 Beta Music Competition in my spare time.
