Twindy

I want to dabble in a git-backed website... so I'm going to create a CMS type site which will power my personal blog.

Some things I hope to achieve with this project:

• Build a website in a lighter Ruby web framework, like Sinatra.
  • Perhaps even dabble in a different language/framework, like Python/Django
• Use git as a datastore, to provide great data portability.
• Leverage git features, like branching, to create new "pages" or "sub-sites"
• Gain a better understanding of git and the libraries associated with it..
• Gain a better understanding of TDD/BDD.
  • I will try to be very strict about TDD. No code without pre-existing tests!

What is outside the scope of my project:

• Not worried about scalability. Hopefully it scales well, but it will be used in a personal project
  • I will not worry about agressive caching, automated compression of the git object database, etc.
• Will not prioritize making the project easy to deplpoy
  • Ideally I can just install this on multiple sites; but the installer script may not be a first priority.

Why "Twindy"?

• NO IDEA! I came up with the project while walking to class, and it was very windy outside?
• I guess "T'was Windy" comes to mind.
