Woohoo! I'm an apprentice!

Today I was led to checking out Enhydra after reading reading a column by Nicholas Petreley in InfoWorld. Man, he really doesn't care for Zope. I was amused by his comment that Zope has an "unnecessarily high nerd factor." Anyway, it was enough to prompt me to check out Enhydra. There's a really good article on their site regarding open source developement called Beg, Borrow, and Steal: Why Open Source is the only choice.

My boss came to me with a problem he discovered with MetaDot. It seems that when you do a search, clicking on the links does not take you to the site the link refers to. As this is definitely non-intuitive behavior, I notified the author, who goes by the handle supercobra of the problem and my intent to modify his code. I've imported it into my CVS server and when I'm done, I'll send him the diffs. Fortunately, he did a really fine job on this software and I shouldn't have to make too many changes.

Man, I love open source!
