Zena transition to 1.0: any encouragement or help welcome

Hi list !

The refactoring to use RubyLess in the templates and improve custom attributes handling (Property) that started in autumn 2009 was quite big and now many tests in the 1.0 branch fail.

Such important changes are hard to endure because there is a time when the feature set and stability of the new development branch (1.0-pre) goes way below the current stable branch (master = 0.16.x) and moving all the codebase back up (3 years of production ready code enhancements) takes time.

So this is an email to ask for any kind of help regarding this bug fixing task (30% unit test failure).

If you can help fix the tests, please fork GitHub - zena/zena: zena is a state-of-the-art CMS (content managment system) based on Ruby on Rails with a focus on usability, ease of customization and web 2.0 goodness (application like behaviour). and use "rake test:units" to see the list of failing tests. Before fixing bugs, tell zena's the mailing list or contact gaspard(at)teti.ch to coordinate bug fixing.

If you cannot help with the bug fix but think Zena is an interesting project, just drop us a line of encouragement !

Thanks for any feedback.

PS: You can use 'gold' to ease code update and pushing:

http://github.com/zena/gold

During setup:

reviewer email = gaspard(at)teti.ch current gold branch = 1.0-pre (not master)

If you do not want to use gold, you have to track the "1.0-pre" branch by hand:

git clone http://github.com/\[YOUR\_NAME\]/zena\.git git remote add zena git://github.com/zena/zena.git git fetch zena git checkout --track -b gold zena/1.0-pre
