Slerm - it's Alive
With the switch to Gophernicus as the SDF gopher server, gopher moles became possible again. I talked about this before [0], but recently found the time to update my old dynamic phlogging software, slerm, so that it worked with Gophernicus. I am testing it and will release another tarball hopefully very soon. Here is the list of features from the original README [1]:
- Display a configurable number of posts per page
- Configurable page headers, page footers and post dividers
- Configurable permalink text
- Allows post comments
- Displays number of comments in each post
- Allows sending an email alert when comments are left
- Allow post tags and filtering post displays by tag
- Ability to embed gophermap links within posts
- Static page and post generation
- Ability to use a post shortener
- Display a list of books you're currently reading
I haven't added any features, just fixed it up to work with Gophernicus as a real CGI script. It is a bit like a gopher version of Blosxom. I know from a recent thread on bboard that some do not care for gopher moles, but I have always loved the simplicity of CGI and think it is a good fit for gopher. I think having the ability for readers to leave simple text comments on a phlog is a nice way to foster the gopher community.
