Thinking of a new project
I am constantly thinking of something to program in PHP/MySQL. All of the good ideas seem to be gone. I just sorta miss coding.
I want to start learning some CSS/XHTML and mess around with AJAX web services. Who knows, this could end up going somewhere. Or not.
I was thinking of doing a content management system that isn’t based on features as it is on doing the most obvious thing in the world: Managing content. I like the idea of Wiki but not to the extreme where everyone can edit every page. There needs to be structure to sites while allowing flexibility and the ability to add new pages on the fly. There needs to be a way for people to develop new pages without making them public, and test those pages/features privately and launch them later. There needs to be a way to allow better user management (OpenID, perhaps?) and allowing users to better customize their experience at a site. There needs to be a way for users to give back to the site without taking over the site, allowing for a functional communication between the visitor, the webmaster, and other visitors to the site. There needs to be a way to manage search engines and allow them to index content freely without overwhelming them with meaningless crap.
Just some ideas that have been floating through my head.
