Fanfic site generator update

[flamebyrd]

I swear, I'm still alive, it's just I was sick for a while and then just overwhelmed. But now I am taking steps to tackle this problem by writing out what still needs to be done.

Things required in order to release an alpha version:

• Write quick setup instructions
• Create sample content
• Finalise default themes, including dark/light theme switcher
• Test quick run shell script for OSX (Windows .cmd file is complete)
• Document all configuration options and how to use them
• Code walkthrough (like the original makesite.py)
• Complete feature list
• Document advanced usage, like single directory output
• Check the dang thing into git (yes, yes, bad practice, I know)

Things not yet implemented that I would like to have by beta release:

• JSON file output for use in frontend scripts
• RSS support
• Automated tests (yes, yes, bad practice, I know)

Basically I have a lot of documentation to write, and I just cannot seem to get into the headspace to do it /o\

If it wouldn't end up being more trouble (with having to explain things to me if I got confused, editing things with me if I didn't capture the desired style etc) I'd be happy to help with documentation. I was literally just thinking I enjoy writing up this sort of thing when it feels like it'll help someone, and I have some grasp of the technical side even if I'd still need some help.

But! If not that's cool. Good luck either way :)

I think that might be really helpful actually! Not just with the documentation but also as a "learning how to collaborate with git" exercise. But I will have to complete the "check the dang thing into git" step first!

Ha, fair enough. Well I will be here when you're ready, if sometimes a little slow replying to email as is my way.

I don’t have much to offer in the way of help (unless you need not-experienced-with-python-etc. testers down the line) but I just wanted to reiterate that this project is so cool!
