This post is heavily borrowed from “Project Gummy Bear hits the Cyberstreets” on the Sueetie Blog, but I wanted to make sure everyone had the latest word. I’m still in flux on how to approach posting both here and at Sueetie.org, but I’ll start by avoiding post duplication and go from there. The idea of moving content to Sueetie.org and providing highlights here will probably win the day, but we’ll see how it goes.
As I said in “Sueetie: The First 48 Hours”
My immediate goal is to duplicate what I did to create Sueetie.org by creating a new site from scratch, documenting each step along the way and packaging up a Sueetie Starter Kit to meet our replication and collaboration needs. I hope to have that complete in the next two weeks. There will be plenty of posts and wiki additions in the meantime so you’ll know I’m doing my job.
I am here to report that I’m doing my job. Project Gummy Bear is located at http://gummybear.sueetie.org.
The Web Root and Membership Administration areas were first to come online. Being true to The Master Plan, supporting documentation and source code for those areas is online as well. Tribal engagement in creating Sueetie Online Community Phase One sites can now proceed.
Gummy Bear supporting materials include source code on the newly published Sueetie CodePlex project at http://codeplex.com/sueetie. Setup documentation is located on the Sueetie.org Wiki at http://sueetie.org/wiki/Setup.ashx. I’ll be releasing source code on CodePlex and setup documentation for each application as soon as they are released on Gummy Bear. Each Gummy Bear release will be incremental to the Phase One Web Root and Membership Administrative configuration.
ScrewTurn Wiki is next, so how it will work is that I’ll be adding the ScrewTurn Wiki to Gummy Bear, package the ScrewTurn DIFF files and write the setup documentation. When that is complete I will announce availability here and at Sueetie.org.
As I concluded the original post at Sueetie.org, the current imperative in moving Sueetie forward is putting the pieces in place so others can replicate Sueetie and become comfortable with the technical layout of a Sueetie Community Site. Then the fun can start. Until then, Project Gummy Bear and its accompanying source code and documentation releases will hopefully drive Sueetie forward to wide-scale availability and laying the groundwork for collaboration and development nirvana for Open Source-loving .NET developers everywhere.
