the future of radeox ...

Hi,

What shall we do with radeox now ? The project is definitively dead.
The website is down, documentation is close to zero. After some 
searching on the
web  i finally found sources at codehaus,  labeled with radeox-1.0-b3

http://svn.codehaus.org/radeox/main/trunk

This apparently last version of radeox contains some Creole-1.0
development (a try to unify the wiki languages of the world, see
http://www.wikicreole.org/ ), but it is not complete.

I have checked out the sources and replaced the radeox-1.0-b2 by the
new version and tested it. It works great so far. This is what i checked
in my development instance of Scarab concerning creole-1.0 syntax:

1.) fully supported syntax:

//italics//
**boldface**
* bullet list
* second item
** sub item

# numbered list
# second item
## sub item

== large heading
=== medium heading
==== small heading

force\\linebreak

----  (horizontal line)

2.) not supported, or not fully supported:

[[externalWiki|wikiPage] ]  (cross wiki links for many of the existing 
wikis in the web)
[[anyURL]] (link to an external resource)
[[anyURL|renderingName]] (link to any external resource)
{{Image.jpg|title}} (image with subtitle)

|=|=table|=header|
|a|table|row|

{{{ text will not be marked up }}}

====================

Now the question is, where to go next.

The code is clean, but there is almost no documentation available on the 
net.
The snipsnap documentation covers some aspects, but since snipsnap seems 
also
to be dead, this is not convenient.

We could decide to do our own radeox fork, name it "scarabeox" or something
and continue the developing, make the thing creole-1.0 compatible and use it
inside scarab.

We also could decide to replace radeox, but then which replacement would 
be convenient ?
For further dicussion on possible replacements see the comments section 
of my issue
http://www.solitone.org/scarab/issues/id/SCB2738

For now i will start my private fork of radeox, implement creole-1.0 and 
consider adding it
as new project "scarabeox" into the tigris repository. (the name sounds 
good to me ;-)

a happy new year and a good start to all of you

regards,
Hussayn
