Very good... as long as my programs count your votes :-)

Can you recommend some of the classics to read?

In particular about real-time direct democracy.

The same in 23 lines of C (+ netcat and inetd): http://old.homeip.net/martin/ssh-https.html

Thank you for the work!

It would be very interesting to learn about the methods you used to create this.

Are you planning to create a palette with more shades? Some time ago I needed lighter Tango tones and created this extended palette: http://emilis.info/other/extended_tango/

I am using Vim on Windows via an app called Console2.

I am not sure how it handles terminal colors. So I just configured Console2 to use Solarized colors and then tried every colorscheme in Vim.

"morning" scheme worked best for me. It is so much easier to read my coworkers crammed code.

The first thing I did. I went and voted for my own projects :-)

"Hacked News"? HTML as a programming language?

You must be new here :-) Anyway... you'll grow up. Like most of us did.

The data from the report was interesting. One more unanswered question: how many of the people don't use an IDE or use only an IDE?

Try a different setup. Which variant of VIM where you using on Windows ?

I need to use Windows at work but I am using VIM for my daily development needs.

I use Msysgit+Console 2 to get a tabbed shell and use VIM from inside it. I probably used Cygwin to install ctags. I also have gVim but don't use it (one of the reasons -- I don't like the font and haven't found out yet how to change it).

I had to play a little bit until I got my setup working. It is not perfect (mouse scroll does not work inside my shell VIM). But it satisfies me.

Volunteers? In Soviet Russia? You are kidding me. I lived there (not in Russia, but it does not matter).

I was a small kid at the time, but I have heard a family story a few times how my father stayed out of work and home not to be included into the list of "volunteers".

There were people asking for him at work. The reasons for choosing him? He was an engineer and young enough.

He got notified by a coworker and got himself a certificate from a doctor to stay out of work.

A lot of other young guys didn't get a warning in advance and now suffer the illnesses they got from "volunteering".

No, thank you.

I have to deal with ExtJS at my current job and I know I would never use this bloatware for any of my personal projects.

It is just bloat.

It tries to fool you by giving you a big library of pretty things that do nothing but blind your eyes from the real stuff that is going on. It was probably built by some people that don't understand the web, secretly hate it and need some desktop-programming abstractions to deal with it.

This approach has one limitation: as soon as you try to do something that the framework designers didn't plan for, you'll run into problems and have to write more work-around code than you would need in a straightforward manner.

Also, its documentation sucks:

- it uses JavaScript where it isn't necessary, - it works slow, - it breaks normal browser navigation, - it shows too much information on one page for the components that are already bloated.

Instead of doing something useful, the authors of this documentation chose to build something to show-off.

My advice: if you are building applications with dumb forms -- ExtJS is for you. If you want to build rich applications, customized to your user needs -- avoid it.

1. Is there a demo of the CMS somewhere?

2.Is the API for the JSON/REST backend documented anywhere?

It is awesome to see someone implement this architecture.

I have been working on a similar concept for quite a while, but didn't have time to build anything more that prototypes and proof-of-concepts.
