Skeleton for Mach-II 1.6 Stable Release and Future Plans

Team Mach-II is happy that the Mach-II skeleton for 1.6 (including 1.6.1)  is ready for prime time. The skeleton is an indispensible collection of files to get you building your Mach-II faster.  Be sure to read the README file on how to use the skeleton.  It's a snap to use...

Download the Mach-II 1.6 Skeleton

We have some interesting ideas about how we can make the skeleton even better for Mach-II 1.8.   We might build a skeleton "builder" application that will generate a customized skeleton based on an "interview" process. This would include questions on if you want to use ColdSpring, Mach-II logging, Mach-II caching, setting up environments and customizing other features such as how URLs are built.  We would like to appeal to the community for ideas about future versions of the skeleton and solicit for help in building this development tool. Feel free to contact Team Mach-II at info at mach-ii.com if you want to help out.  Maybe you already have an in-house tools similar to this you want to share with the community...

I think a skeleton "builder" application is a great idea!

It will be great if we can get something similar to ColdBox skeleton generator.

Maybe built skeleton generator directly into Dashboard?

Yep, I like Syed's idea. Skeleton gen built directly into the dashboard would be sweet.

I've been thinking about this a bit more and I think we have a catch-22 situation. Let's say you are new to Mach-II, you would need to setup a skeleton with the Dashboard as a module in order to generate a skeleton? Seems to be a problem. However it doesn't mean that we can't build a skeleton generator (that is Mach-II based) and include that (using Mach-II's XMl ) as a tab in the dashboard. Then both situations are covered. Thoughts?

Anybody want to volunteer to build this? The team is pretty maxed out on development time at the moment and community contributions is what makes Mach-II great.

You'd get help and input from Team Mach-II which is a great way to hone your Mach-II skills. It would also give you an opportunity to prove yourself as a community contributor (this is how Brian joined the team). We are always willing to expand the team with people that have an interest in Open Source Software and Mach-II. If you are interested, shoot a message to team [@at@] mach-ii.com.

I just sent an email to team, hopefully something will work out.

Yet, i have to try the new 1.8 night.
