Template engine development help
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2010 7:29 am
I have been developing a template engine called Open Power Template for 5+ years so far. The library itself is very mature and I get some help from the community and another programmer, but to make the development faster and more active, I'm looking for programmers who would like to help in this open-source project. If you want to write a new template engine, consider joining an existing project instead. Without experience, you have very little chance to create something innovative and you end with yet another library that repeats the mistakes and drawbacks of the rest.
Project page: http://www.invenzzia.org/en/projects/op ... r-template
Project summary page on Ohloh: http://www.ohloh.net/p/open-power-template-2
Requirements
The library is written in PHP 5.3+ with massive use of object-oriented programming. If you want to volunteer, you have to know both of them. The basic knowledge of Subversion and issue tracking systems would also be appreciated.
Benefits
The entire project is open-source and there are no financial benefits for participating in it (I don't have them, too). What I can provide is the experience, knowledge about XML parsing and compiler design, unit testing, etc. and getting a nice library for your own projects.
What needs to be done?
- Testing the existing features and codebase.
- Improving the compiler and feature set.
- Improving the additional libraries (OPT is a part of a bigger family of PHP libraries)
- Writing framework ports.
- Writing tutorials, improving documentation etc.
How to participate?
Simply register on the project discussion board, describe yourself briefly and ask for some task to do or suggest something you could do. Any help would be appreciated.
