Dave Winer’s Scripting.com Rewrite Looking To Remake Blogging, Again

Scripting2 is a rewrite of my blogging software. Its roots go back to the NewsPage suite developed in 1995. With this rewrite it no longer has code from before May 2010. I’ve learned a lot about web programming, esp in the Frontier environment, in the last 15 years. It’s great to have an up-to-date codebase.

Dave Winer is rewriting the code behind scripting.com, bringing it into the 21st century.  He is planning on bringing back some the great features like “Edit This Page” that set Frontier, Manilla, and Radio apart as early blogging platforms. Most certainly something to keep an eye on.

  • Drupal module: Question Field
    Question Field module can be used to create evaluations, questionnaires, surveys, and anything else you might want for gathering information from users. The module works much like Webform, but uses CCK to create it's fields.

    Think of the content type as a template for a questionnaire (survey, evaluations, questionnaires, quiz,..) that defines the type of answers that can be collected (text, image, video), and the node as the questionnaire created from the template.
