[9:50] <hannesw> earl: i'm still thinking about the best location/name for the create-new-application script
[9:50] <hannesw> I'm pretty sure it's right to move it into modules (that's where I had it originally, the move to bin/ was a last-minute change)
[9:51] <hannesw> but... i think admin/create is too generic. there may be other things we may want to create.
[9:51] <hannesw> and: I'd like to have a script for starting web apps, so we can get rid of the stupid main.js in web apps.
[9:51] <earl> mhm
[9:52] <hannesw> ...and starting a web app is not really a admin-style action.
[9:52] <earl> i don't think that anything prohibits creating other things with this module later on
[9:52] <hannesw> ok
[9:53] <earl> we should maybe change the CLI right away to admin/create app <appname>
[9:53] <hannesw> or an option: admin/create --appengine <appname>
[9:53] <earl> yes, something like that
[9:53] <hannesw> ok, what about the run-webapp script?
[9:53] <hannesw> (i definitley think we should have that)
[9:54] <earl> yes, i'd like to see that as well
[9:54] <hannesw> i think it should run the webapp either in the current directory, or you can pass a directory.
[9:54] <earl> but admin/manage (a'la django) or admin/start or admin/run-webapp would be nice locations for such a script/module
[9:55] <earl> actually, thinking of an admin/manage was the reason to create admin/ in the first place
[9:56] <earl> but i'm certainly open for a better name
[9:56] <hannesw> ok, i don't think admin/run or admin/start would be my first choice, but it's ok
[9:56] <hannesw> yes, having an admin namespace for that kind of thing is definitly a good thing
[9:57] <hannesw> so what's your preference for the run-webapp script?
[9:58] <earl> not sure
[9:58] <earl> but admin/run doesn't sound too bad
[9:58] <hannesw> yep, agreed.
[9:58] <hannesw> btw, thanks a lot for the suggestion to use --use-log-author --add-author-from on git-svn.
[9:59] <hannesw> I'm happy when it doesn't look like I'm doing all the work alone :-)
[9:59] <earl> you're welcome ;)
[9:59] <hannesw> btw, I'd like to give you access to my git repository. ok with you?
[9:59] <hannesw> (you can still do more experimental stuff in your own branch)
[9:59] <hannesw> but for stuff like the deb packege etc
[10:00] <earl> fine with me, yes
[10:00] <hannesw> ok, done
[10:01] <earl> thanks
[10:02] <earl> will still need you to svn dcommit ;)
[10:02] <hannesw> oh, ok... s%&Q.
[10:02] <hannesw> that git-svn makes everything far to complex
[10:02] <earl> yes
[10:03] <hannesw> thinking about dropping svn.
[10:03] <earl> i guess it's no secret that i'd be vastly in favour of dropping svn for hng :)
[10:05] <hannesw> :-)
