Stopping WordPress Branch for now

Posted by santosj on August 1, 2007

I think I’ll learn more from the base systems as a whole by patching WordPress. I’ll get more feedback and gain further insight into WordPress and how it works for when I get back into the PHP5.2 only Branching. Also, the separation should further help me, because of what my main focus is going to be.

Splitting WordPress into Core and Blog

I’m going to continue my direction of trying to separate major functionality from blog functionality. I know that WordPress MU works along side WordPress, but I want to try to make it easier to extend the Core or Base and work from there.

This would mean that the main feature would be a extremely simple CMS with only page support that allows signing in and an administration panel.

I know that some others are working on an upgrade feature, but I want to work on one for myself and transfer it to another project.

I’m going to unit test all of my code as I go through everything. I also want to try to do acceptance testing at some point, if I can get it working. It will be easier to do the Unit Testing now and when I get the system in place, work on functional testing.

Continuing Splitting Presentation from Business Logic

There are still some areas, I guess since the core developers don’t feel that others should play around with it, that is hard-coded and requires manual modification of presentation. I want to try some other ideas and see how well it goes.

Keeping PHP 4 In Mind

I’m going to test with PHP 4.4.4, and fix issues that come up with the unit tests, but that is pretty much it.

Spending Time

I’m not sure. It depends on how quickly I can move and get stuff done. I have this month to decide on what direction I’m going to take. Once I start school, I won’t have much time. Or at least a lot less time than I have now.
