Ok, just a quick post to get something on the blog. This will be the home of the Antira Code Wrestlers, where we maintain our custom code for antira.info. Currently, there is the plan to work on three projects:
- SolarSystem: A framework for quickly writing aggregator sites, also know as Planets. Differential treatment of different sources, more pre-configured sources, a blueprint based layout (pluggable). It should one day power our planet and turn it into a full-blown researching site.
- K2styler: So, since we switched to wordpress-mu, people are not allowed to mess around with their themes. That is actually good, since we can’t have people write custom php. So we basically force people to use K2 (you might use the wp standard Kubrick, but who would want that anyway?). So, there should be some degree of configurability exceeding the ability to customize the header, we feel. Using dancer, we will cook up a quick interface to change some basic CSS-properties that can then be stores as additional styles for K2. Nicely, there is a perl module that implements the authentification style of wordpress, so we don’t need to give out new passwords.
- signsign: Working titled so, it would turn into a petition site helping to collect signatures for calls and such. This is a dream only so far.
We appreciate any comments, especially like Why do you want to write that? That already exists! Here is a link

Ah, and we will need to set up gitosis.
