[16:16] <hannesw__> robertg: would jala i18n be a candidate for helma-ng, and maybe commonjs level standardization?
[16:16] <hannesw__> http://dev.orf.at/trac/jala/wiki/JalaModules/I18n
[16:16] <hannesw__> haven't ever used this
[16:16] <hannesw__> the topic of localization came up on the narwhal list.
[16:26] <robertg> porting i18n to helma-ng shouldn't be that much work, i think
[16:27] <robertg> it's main benefit is the generation of gettext .po template files, which is imo helpful when working on bigger projects
[16:29] <robertg> otoh it might feel cumbersome to generate the .pot-file, translate it using eg. poedit, and then create js message catalogs out of them
[16:29] <robertg> probably there's room to improve ;)
[16:54] <robi42> ad helmatic i18n: found knallgrauLib's take on this actually pretty nice to use.
[16:55] <robi42> cf. https://trac.knallgrau.at/knallgrauLib/browser/trunk/docs/wiki/i18n.wiki
[16:56] <robi42> works w/ simple java properties files, among other things
[16:57] <robi42> possible downsides: probably quite highly intertwingled w/ other knallgrauLib code etc.
[16:59] <robi42> maybe a rewrite impl. its basic concepts would make most sense there...
[21:16] <botic> Hi! Any IntelliJ 9 users here?
[21:28] <hannesw__> botic: me
[21:28] <botic> what's the best way to create a helma 1.x project?
[21:28] <botic> i'm a little bit confused
[21:29] <botic> i check it out from the repository and then nothing - no files, no file explorer
[21:29] <botic> do i need a special setting or add a "dummy" module?
[21:29] <hannesw__> do you have the community edition?
[21:29] <botic> no
[21:29] <botic> does it have js-support? i think not
[21:30] <hannesw__> the normal edition has js support
[21:30] <hannesw__> and it's quite good actually
[21:30] <hannesw__> does a lot of refactorings, and recognizes lots of smelly or buggy code
[21:33] <botic> jep and that's the fine thing. i found two bugs thanks to it
[21:34] <hannesw__> in the project view, try selecting anohter mode
[21:34] <hannesw__> View as [dropdown]
[21:34] <hannesw__> try setting that to "Project" or something
[21:34] <botic> ahhhh - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0cNRMogwOs
[21:34] <botic> now it's working
[21:35] <botic> i enabled the webapp thing
[21:35] <botic> and then just deleted the autogenerated web.xml
[21:35] <botic> now it's working
[21:38] <hannesw__> actually I'm trying to use emacs lately
[21:38] <hannesw__> emacs js2 mode is superb
[21:39] <hannesw__> and since i discovered you have use the emacs-snapshot package on ubuntu even font display is great
